Marilyn CHOW Obituary

Marilyn passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 11th at Hospice Peterborough. Beloved wife for 40 years to Michael Fox and loving mother of Sarah Fox. Sister of Tina-Lynn Chau, Ross Chow, Lauralynn Chow, and the late Jocelyn Chow. Daughter of the late Sam and Mary Chow. Marilyn was born in Edmonton and trained as an architect. When she came to Peterborough she trained as a teacher and worked as a teacher-librarian in local elementary schools until she retired in 2018. Many young students learned to love reading as a result of her efforts. Marilyn was an avid reader herself and a consummate puzzle-doer. She had a love of art and design, and knitted many wonderful pieces for friends and charitable causes. She was also a fantastic gardener and her beautiful flowers were admired by her family, friends, and neighbours.
There will be a private funeral with a celebration of her life to be held at a later date. In memory of Marilyn, donations to Hospice Peterborough would be appreciated. Online condolences may be left at comstockkaye.com
