Marion was mini but mighty. She was strong and independent and had a great sense of humour. What an amazing role model. A longtime Burlington resident, she had a career as a high school teacher in Hamilton, and took delight in travelling the world during school breaks, often with her good friend Alex Gall. And, she loved the company of felines, of which there were many over the years.
