Marie was predeceased by her parents, William and Mary Dalgarno of St. Andrews, Manitoba, brothers William and Russell, her husband Nickolas Yuzark and son Donald.

During the Second World War Marie helped the fight with the Red Cross, a stay at home mom, worked for the Lord Selkirk School Division as the Secretary Treasurer and custodial staff, a life long member of the New Democratic Party and an active supporter in all facets of Politics. On one occasion, in 1984, Marie met and had dinner with Queen Elisabeth II, being an honoured guest when she was in Winnipeg. She was active with Little Britain United Church, St. Andrew School's Parent Councils, St. Andrews Community Club and volunteered with numerous other organizations. Her love of animals, gardening, a good card game, baking, and perogies making were some of mom's enjoyments, even later in life. A special thank you to the doctors and staff at the Betel Home, for taking excellent care of mom the past several years. There will be a spring family service at a later date.

We love you mom and we know that you're in a safe loving place, with dad.

I have many great memories of Aunt Marie and Uncle Nick. I especially remember the time when I came home from work in Thornhill Ontario and they were sitting in our house. They got into the house when little Marilyn crawled through the milk box and opened the door. Unexpectedly, they had come for a visit. My parents were at the cottage near Midland, and I took them up to the cottage. What a surprise for all. This was very typical of them. I shed tears, today, thinking of the good times we had so many years ago. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Terry Yuzwak (newphew) on: Jan 03, 2015
