Lea leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters, Sherrie Marion-Finck (Brian) and Chandra Gray (Brad) her granddaughter Ashley and a little angel soon to be born; her mother Hortense Sabourin; her brothers and sisters, Edmond (Murielle), Berthe (Rene) Nadeau, Sylvio (Kathy), Henri (Kim), Claire (George) Newman and Louise (Gilbert) Collette; her husband Roger Marion and his parents, Leon and Rita Marion; numerous nieces and nephews. Lea was predeceased by her father Armand Sabourin in 1989 and her brother Claude in 2004. Lea was a beautiful, meticulous woman who loved to dance. The people whose lives Lea touched will remember how loving, caring and compassionate a woman she was. Lea loved her volunteer work for many years at various services. Her two daughters and granddaughter were her pride and joy, her love for them overflowed.

You taught us to be positive, to be ourselves, and to believe in who we are. Weve learned from your example to be generous and kind. Your influence will always be there. We love you, Mom."
