When Reg and Marilynne returned to Smiths Falls she worked for the VON. Throughout her life she was very involved in Trinity United Church. She was an active member of the UCW (Friendship Unit), the Board of Trustees, and participated in Bible Study. For 15 years Marilynne was on the Board of Home Support. Recently she volunteered at the Smiths Falls Hospital. Marilynne had a special bond with her five granddaughters and loved to spend time with them. One of her favourite pastimes was spending time on the Rideau. This summer she spent seven weeks at a cottage surrounded and supported by her family and friends. Whenever we see a sunset over the water, a rainbow, or hear the call of a loon, we will be reminded of Marilynne. The family wishes to thank Dr. Peter and Nancy Yunker, and the staff of the Smiths Falls Hospital for care and support provided during these past months.
