Marilyn COPLEY Obituary

It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our mom, grandma, great-grandma Marilyn Copley (Gurica) (nee Peters) in her 82 year after a short battle with cancer on June 5, 2020 at St. Peters Hospital. She is predeceased by her husband Norm, and brothers Ken, Jeff and Ron Peters and her sister Audrey Jeffery. She leaves behind her brother Bob Peters. She is survived by six children, Vicky (deceased Doug), Wes (Cindy), Marty, Debby (Jim), Wendy, Cathy (Leo) and 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by so many lifelong friends as well as her apartment, euchre and Sundridge friends and many retired Hamilton Police Department officers. She had such a passion for animals and every day on her walks she would have a pocket full of dog treats to hand out. Special thank you to the caring staff at Juravinski Cancer Centre and St. Peters Palliative care. Cremation has already taken place and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Donations greatly appreciated in her honor to St. Peters Palliative Care, Rygel Homes or to a charity of your choice.

Marilyn and Norm were friends of my wife and I when they lived in Jarvis. Marilyn loved my dog Bear and would feed him treats and brush him almost everyday when she went past to retrieve her mail. Lost contact after they moved to Sunridge. Was saddened to find out yesterday that she passed about 9 months ago. She loved my dog and he loved her! RIP Marilyn.

Marilyn and Norm were neighbour/friends of my wife and I when they were residents of Jarvis for a few years and Marilyn was a huge fan of our dog Bear and would stop everyday to visit with him when she went to pickup mail. She would give him treats and brush him and sometimes take him to her place for a visit. He loved her as much as she loved him. Unfortunately we lost track of them when they moved to Sunridge but did reconnect a couple times when they came back to Hamilton. I never saw that she passed 9 months ago until yesterday and was heartbroken to find this out. RIP Marilyn.
