Marlene, mom grew up on a farm outside of Carmen Manitoba, where she had fond memories with her brothers and sister. She loved watching her horse races, as that is what she did with her dad when she was younger. Mom loved baking, it was so nice coming home to the smell of fresh baked bread, as well she enjoyed gardening; for the flowers it was the Pansies and Petunias. And curling, when it was on TV, there was no changing the channel. When I would be cooking, mom would, as I say “hover over” to check and make sure nothing was getting dirty or messy. After she would just say, I just cleaned that! Another past time was playing Scrabble.

The family would like to thank Amber and Tyler Dunn, David Christie, and Don Clovechok for all their help and support. Also thanks to the nurses and doctors on 5 North at RIH for their care.

No formal service is being held as per her request.

If desired, memorial donations may be made to Kamloops SPCA.

Condolences can be sent to the family at Schoening Funeral Service.
