Marion and I worked together and enjoyed many wonderful years together. She was a tenacious, positive and extremely capable colleague. Her unmatched sense of humour was a joy to all. My deepest sympathy to Ric and their two sons.

Marion was a great friend for countless years. So many memories. She was so proud of all of you and loved sharing her joys (and trials) of being a parent, mom-in-law and grandma. Our thoughts are with you. She won't be forgotten.
