Anne Marion Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 15 to Feb. 16, 2006.

MARION, Anne (nee Evans) Peacefully at the Elisabeth Bruyere Health Centre on Monday, February 13, 2006 in her 75th year. Born in 1931 in Pontypridd, S. Wales. Wife of Dr. Gilles Marion, retired pediatrician M.D.C.M., FRCP (C.). We met at a St. Valentine's party in "Canada House" in Paris in 1954 and then married in Pontypridd that summer, then moved to Ottawa in Manor Park. We had four children in five years Lyse (Jim Smithe), David, Gigi (Ron Grant), Dr. Marc (Christina Fernandez), nine grandchildren Andrew, Monica, Olivia; Genevieve and Stephanie; Jessica and Mitchel; and Anya and Noah. Anne was extremely well known in the "horse" community and a fantastic cook. Friends may visit at the St. Laurent Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry, 1200 Ogilvie Rd. at Aviation Pkwy. on Friday, February 17, 2006 from 2-5 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church, 400 St. Laurent Blvd., Ottawa, on Saturday, February 18 at 10 a.m. Interment at Notre-Dame Cemetery. Whether in the Verdant Taff Valley of Wales or the snow covered fields around Ottawa, Anne lived life fully on the back of a horse.

Dear Gilles,

I just heard of Anne's passing. She was a strong, passionate and feisty woman, and a wonderful example of how to live life to the fullest. I fondly remember riding with her in our eight horse quadrille not so long ago. She will be dearly missed in the community. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Happy trails Anne, until we meet again.

My deepest sympathies to Gilles and family. Ann and I shared many a wonderful hack over the last few years and I will always remember her incredible spirit and boisterous laugh, and how she lead the way down the trails, holding our hands and hooves as we explored the valley on horseback. That I hack to this day is the essence of Ann's gift to an undoubtledly vast legion of equestrians in this area. Traiblazer extraordinaire you were -on many levels. Vale Ann.

I saw Ms Anne Marion's picture and noticed she is so beautiful I was urged to send this message and offer my condoleances to all those who love her. Anne must have been a beautiful person also.

Dear Dr. Marion,

As a former patient of yours (1974-late 80's), I never had the pleasure of meeting your wife. However, I do remember you speaking quite fondly of her on several occasions.

My parents and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
