Hello, I just came across this obit searching for distant relatives. I am very sorry to hear of Marlene's passing. I believe she was a neice to Dorothy (nee wigmore) which would be my great Grandmother. I have an old newspaper clipping from Mary Whites obit in which I was able to track down some names. But it doesn't give me the names of deceased sisters or brothers. Just that there were 2 brothers and 3 sisters passed,and 1 brother Rex (found headstone) and an Olive slater ...any help in regards to where Dorothy and Sarah/Thomas Hamer (GG .grandparents) are buried would be so neat!! Thank you very much!

Cindy, Dino, Julie, Barbie & families. Marlene was the one person in our family who had the most information about the Hamer family tree. She willingly shared her knowledge with Bev., Sharon & myself (all cousins) on several occasions. Always enjoyable. Will remember her with fondness.

Cindy, Dino, Julie & Barb and family, so sorry to hear of Marlene's passing. Always a ray of sunshine when I would see her as a kid with my Mom and Deanne at Eaton's and at family gatherings at her house or ours. A very sweet lady.

Marlene you will be remembered as one who enjoyed life. When we have a backyard fire this season, we will remember you when looking to the stars in the sky, something we enjoyed frequently while sharing a backyard fire in the past twenty plus years. Richard and Pat.
Sincere condolences to the family.
