HIGHGATE - Marion Bruce, age 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Friday, October 11, 2024.

Marion was born on December 18th, 1947 to Lawrence and Evelyn (Kenniston) French.

Marion was a loving and kind soul with a spirited personality that left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

She had a passion for the simple joys of life, enjoying activities like bird watching, browsing flea markets, and hunting for treasures at lawn sales and auctions. Her excitement for bingo and rummage sales was infectious, bringing joy to those around her with her sassy yet sweet nature. She cherished spending time with her grandchildren and treating them to her famous homemade French onion dip through the holiday seasons and during their camping endeavors.

Marion is survived by her husband of 57 years, Donald Bruce Sr; children, Laurie Currier, Daniel Bruce, Tammy and Mike Odom, Darrell Bruce, Angela and Clifford Williams; grandkids, Theodore Bruce, David Cornell, Nathaniel Cornell, Matthew Cornell, Jonathon Kropp, Jacob Ryals, Michael Bruce, Brooklyn Bruce, and Melinda and Chris Ives; great grandchildren, Malorie and Brantley Raymo, Emilee and Ashton Ives and many more; and sister, Evelyn.

Marion is predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Evelyn, son, Donald Bruce Jr. on May 28th, 2004, and siblings, Marjorie, Robert and Richard.

Family and friends will be invited to Marion's life celebration to include visitation on Saturday, October 19th from 1-2:00PM with a funeral service following at 2:00PM at the Goss Life Celebration Home, 89 Grand Ave., Swanton, VT 05488. Interment will follow in the Highgate Center Cemetery.
