Marlene Powell Obituary
May 10, 1937 -
December 17, 2019
After a few years, she decided the restaurant business was not for her. She pulled her camper out to Whitefish Lake and spent many years with her best friend Marilyn Dunbar and spending a lot of time fishing and campfires. When all the grandchildren started coming she decided to move closer to town, so she moved to Wild Goose. She loved company; her favourite saying "What is your rush, have a beer." Marlene loved spending Canada Day every year at Clover Beach. Marlene was predeceased by her husband Bob, Bill and Tregg Powell, her son Bobby Powell, and her grandson Jason Powell, her mother Kay and Charlie Mickelson and brother Charlie Mickelson. Cremation has taken place. There will be a private interment at a later date. Marlene's wishes, in lieu of flowers, were that donations may be made to the Andrew Miedema Foundation or Save the Dog Network. A very special thank you to the staff on 6 North Hogarth Riverview Manor, that had to put up with her for three years, you took very good care of her; Steve you were awesome. You were all like a second family to her, and Marion who became her special friend.
