In memory of

Marion Yvonne Robertson

December 8, 1930 -  February 7, 2017

Passed away peacefully on February 7th, 2017 in her 87th year at Shepherd Lodge, Scarborough. Beloved wife of 49 years of Bruce (deceased). Proud mother of Anne (Cliff) and Mark (Cristina) and grandmother of Lauren, Graham, Fraser, Kaiya, Emily and Hailie. A graduate of the Ontario Teacher’s College, Marion began her working life teaching on a Canadian Forces base in Germany. From these early experiences, Marion developed a lifelong interest in travel, which she shared with Bruce over the course of many happy journeys. Together, Marion and Bruce also embraced cottage life and celebrated memorable summers on the shores of Georgian Bay, leaving their footprints in the sands of Bluewater Beach and in the memories of their loved ones. Marion took great joy in cooking and entertaining and all who had the chance to experience her generosity as a hostess will remember time spent in her home with fondness. Missed by family and friends, Marion now rests with God. On behalf of the family, we thank Shepherd Lodge, its staff and Marion’s wonderful support workers, Rose and Rochelle, for the care and support that they gave her. A memorial service in celebration of Marion’s life will be held on April 9, 2017 at 2pm at Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Funeral Center, 375 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto.

Mrs Robertson had a kind heart and was always welcoming. So many memories growing up in Highland Creek and not enough time to write them all.
Some of these are...........watching her cook lobster (as we never did this at our house), getting a ride to Brownies in the green Dodge Dart, being able to go to eat lunch with Anne at her house when my Mom wasn't home for lunch, playing with our Barbie campers in the basement, and eating fresh honey from their back yard.
Thankful you are at peace now. Love and prayers to all - hugs to you Anne - my friend. xo Connie (Bell)
