To my Uncle John, Tara, Moira and family. I was very sad to hear about Aunt Marian. I remember with fondness how she looked after me and showed great kindness when my mother was in the maternity hospital. She loved helping people and one never heard her utter an unkind word. Marian passed her gentle, dignified nature on to her two daughters, of whom she was so proud. My condolences and prayers are with you all.

I have so many good memories of Marian – dating back from when we lived on Park Crescent and the kids were young. The best Brownie leader ever! Such an efficient office manager, she gave her all to every job she tackled! A superb seamstress, turning out fabulous costumes! She was a pillar in her church and community! A one- of- a- kind woman…. and will be remembered with fondness for decades to come.
