Comments
Marion Mason, a long-time resident of Miramichi, passed away May 24, 2015 at the Miramichi Senior Citizens’ Home with family at her bedside. She was born in 1918 to May Victoria (Davies) and William Mitchell in Halifax. In spite of many hardships, Marion graduated from high school and worked several years as a stenographer for the Department of Fisheries in Halifax, before marrying Carmen Mason and eventually settling in Nelson, Miramichi. Besides raising her family, she kept the books for Carmen’s electrical business into her sixties.
Marion’s talents, interests and qualities were many. She was artistic and musical. She could pick out any tune on the accordion and her singing was always pitch perfect. Marion was an excellent and experimental cook. She loved to travel, especially when it involved visiting family. Her various travels took her to the Caribbean, the United States and across Canada. Marion was a kind and gentle person with a particular soft spot for all animals – big and small.
She was a dedicated mother and grandmother and leaves a legacy of compassion and love to her family. She will be greatly missed by her devoted daughters, Elizabeth (Bob Bowes) of Derby and Kathleen (Dave Goforth) of Miramichi; her beloved grandchildren, Kurt Bowes, Heather Bowes-Ford and Jessica Goforth-Lajoie all of Calgary, and her delightful great-grandchildren, Kate, Lauren, Charlie and Mason. Marion is survived by her sister, Doris Boutilier of Kitchener-Waterloo, and several nieces and nephews.
A graveside memorial service will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Brown’s Yard, Kent County, New Brunswick on Friday, June 12, 2015 @ 1 PM with The Rev. Christopher Ketch officiating. Arrangements are under the care of Bell’s Funeral Home, 651 King George, Miramichi, NB. Telephone: 506-622-3600
Our family wishes to thank the staff of Miramichi Senior Citizens’ Home for being so supportive and for taking such good care of Marion.
