Marnie Graham (Nee Bird) November 8, 1951 - August 24, 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Marnie Graham. Marnie leaves to mourn  a very large extended family, loving husband Gord, mother Peggy Bird, brothers Bill (Nancy), Richie (Linda), Pete (Helena), Tom (Lee), brother-in-law Mark, sister-in-laws Giselle (Dennis), Rhonda and niece  Josie.

She will be remembered for her love of life. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Marnie took pride  in her homemaking, needlepoint and her ability in being number one seamstress. Most of all she took  great pride in her family, her nieces and nephews, and many cherished friends.

Marnie was predeceased by her dad Duncan on November 20, 2009.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 8, at 1 pm at the Carlson Community Club. Tea to follow. In lieu of flowers a donation in Marnie’s honour may be made to a charity of your choice.
