Marion Cameron

Loving and beloved wife of the late Mervyn Dee Cameron, she will be missed by her children Margaret (Peggy) Arlene (Tom Bryant), Diane Gail (François Tourigny), Robert Phillips (Kaoru Imai) and Donald Scott (Karen Pitcher); grandsons Thomas Kenta and Christopher Yuta (Rob); granddaughters Morgan Danielle, Teagan Elizabeth and Gillian Paige (Don); sister Dorothy Anne Phillips (Ashwin Shingadia), sister-in-law Phyllis Arlene Paterson (the late Rae Paterson), brother-in-law Harley Owen Cameron (Maxine) and many cousins and their families. Predeceased by parents Lucille (née Roome) and Robert Dewey Phillips.

Marion grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Saskatchewan, she married a naval officer and embarked on a life of travel, supporting her husband as they raised four children. Marion had many interests, from her various volunteer commitments to sailing to world events. In 1983 she graduated from Dalhousie University with a Master’s in Economics, a subject she also taught for a number of years. In her leisure time, Marion could usually be found reading a good mystery.

The family thanks the staff of the Colonel By Retirement Residence and Bayshore Home Care Solutions for their loving care in the last years and weeks of her life.
