On Friday, October 19, 2018, Marie passed away at the home in which she lived for sixty-four years, as she wished. She was predeceased by her much loved husband, William, always known as Bill, in 1994.

She is survived by four generations of her family: her children, Donna Campbell and her spouse, Stephen Waisberg, and Joan Hodgson; her grandchildren, Joseph Waisberg and Leah Waisberg, and Brent Hodgson and Christopher Hodgson and his spouse, Ingrid Hodgson; her great-grandchildren, Emma and Owen Zaffino, Adrien and Lucas Hodgson, and Alyssa, Angelia and Nicholas Hodgson; and her great-great-grandchildren, Karmina and Kaliyana Hodgson.

She is also survived by her older brother, Harold Searle (spouse of Dean, deceased), her sister-in-law, Joan Searle (spouse of younger brother Allen, deceased) and their extended families.

Marie had a wide circle of friends, including co-workers at WHSmith Booksellers, her rug hooking colleagues, neighbours and acquaintances from her beloved birthplace of Mortlach, Saskatchewan and from her life with Bill as they started their family life in Etobicoke in the 1950s.

Her family and friends will miss her dearly.

Visitation will take place at Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W, Etobicoke (between Kipling and Islington Aves.) on Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 10 a.m. until the time of the Funeral Service at 11 a.m. Marie often said she was not particularly fond of flowers, so please consider a donation in her memory to Operation Smile Canada, War Amps CHAMPS Program or Voice for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
