Marion Wilhelmina Dunnigan (nee Kols)

Marion passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 12, 2023, in Kamloops BC. She was born August 25, 1935, in Calgary, Alberta, to Stanley Petres and Mary Kolcz. Her parents had emigrated from Poland in 1928 to start a new life but lost all their family during the Second World War.

Shortly after high school, she married Ed, her husband of over 60 years and raised their five children. Marion loved crafts and was an avid quilter and painter. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and needlepoint. Marion volunteered with the Catholic Women’s League. She was predeceased by her parents, husband Edward, and son David of Vernon. Marion will be lovingly remembered by her children Janice (Reilly) Thompson of Edmonton, Patricia (Russell) Bloomfield of Kamloops, Mark of Edmonton and Angela Dunnigan of Kamloops; granddaughter Alicia of Kamloops, great grandchildren Christopher and Edward.
