Marie was my cousin and although I did not know her well, we were beginning to form a relationship. I will always be grateful to her for providing the variuos links and websites she used while researching the Whitson family. Rest in peace Marie.

I also grew up and attended school with Marie and remember her as a gentle soul. Sadly lost touch and am very sad to hear of her passing at such a young age. My condolences to Marie's family.

I grew up with, and attended Mayerthorpe High School with Marie. As the MHS class of 68 has been reconnecting through social media sites, Marie has been on my mind a lot lately. I have also wondering where she had gotten to and how she had fared in life. At our last class reunion in 1988 our group vowed to have a 2nd reunion but regrettably, that never happened and most of have lost touch and have grown apart. I am deeply sorry for the loss of another classmate and friend! May Marie have eternal Peace.

Remembering Marie, an exceptional student in my classes...For many years I wondered where Marie had moved, whom she had married, whether she had a family and hoping our paths would cross some day. So sorry... With my sympathy and prayers to Marie's family. May Marie Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. I met her through our mutual genealogy family searches. Words cannot express how welcoming and helpful she was. We had many informative discussions about our families, (and lots of laughs) and I will forever be grateful for her help and support. I regret that I never had the chance to meet her in person. We are coming to Alberta in June and I was looking forward to giving her a big hug in person! My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Love Sherry
