Also very special to Mom were her nieces and nephews. Marrion was born in Dartmouth, NS and moved to Winnipeg as a young child with her family. Marrion attended Lord Roberts and Kelvin High School. Upon graduation she went to work as a secretary. In 1933 she married David Taylor. Until Dad's passing they enjoyed and shared 42 years together. Mom was very active in St. Alban's and St. Patrick's Anglican Churches. Music played a large part in Mom's life. She was an accomplished pianist and accompanied Dad when he sang his many Scottish favourites. Mom and Dad enjoyed travelling, especially their trip to England and Scotland. Bowling, playing bridge and bingo and doing word puzzles were Mom's favourite pastimes. Over the years Mom enjoyed her precious moments with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These times became more precious and cherished during her latter stay at Calvary Place. The family would like to thank the staff from Calvary Place for their caring support over the years. Mom was very grateful for their kindness and compassion. A memorial service will be held at Neil Bardal Inc., 984 Portage Ave. (entrance on Aubrey Street), Winnipeg, at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11.
