MARION ISABELL LONEY Marion Loney passed away peacefully and comfortably on December 3, 2015. Born to Thomas Spooner and Sarah Annie Graveson in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ontario on August 11, 1927, Marion was the youngest of five children. While working for the Bank of Montreal, she met the love of her life William (Bill) Loney in Thunder Bay. Bill and Marion married July 5, 1952 and for the rest of their days they were devoted to each other. With Bill in the Toronto Dominion Bank, Marion moved often throughout Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, living in Thunder Bay, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw and Winnipeg before moving to Halifax to be closer to family in 2009. Mom believed that moving was an opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy new places.
