In Loving Memory
It has been two years since your passing, and it feels like yesterday. You are loved beyond measure, and even in your passing, that has not withered. A one-of-a-kind, forever loved and adored mother, grandmother, aunt, friend and monster-in-law.
Marilyn was a one-in-a-million grandmother, giving everything she was into having meaningful relationships with each grandchild. Before her grandchildren were born, she devoted herself to her two girls and the children she worked with throughout School District 33 as an Education Assistant.
After a short battle with cancer, she left her beloved children and grandchildren to be with her parents again. Shortly after her passing, her one and only sister Pat McRae succumbed to cancer as well.
Marilyn never sought the spotlight, though she touched many lives and will forever be remembered for her compassion, kindness and empathy for the individuals she loved so deeply.
Left to mourn her are her two daughters Crystal (Eric) Alekson and Stacie Ward, her grandchildren Drew, Allyssa, Ethan, Dexter and Alexander, Chloe and Harlend ; as well as nieces. Loved and mentionable friends - Colleen, Christa & Dave, and Wendy & Scott.
