On February 12th, 2021, Marion passed away peacefully at home with family by her side.

 Marion was born in North Battleford Saskatchewan, on February 12th, 1942, to Mary and John Dick. Marion spent the majority of her early years in Landis and Saskatoon. On July 28th, 1973, Marion married Rick Wilkins and they settled in North Battleford where they spent most of their years.

 Marion worked at Eatons in North Battleford for a number of years where she made a number of life long friends.  Marion enjoyed being a lunch supervisor at a few schools in the Battlefords area. She started the lunch program at Bready School which became so successful that a number of other schools followed suit. Over the years Marion was able to make special connections with a number of students, both young and old.

 

One of Marion’s favourite pastimes was camping. Marion and Rick went on a number of camping adventures across North America where they met countless friends. Marion’s pride and joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

 Marion and Rick moved a number of times eventually settling in Coaldale, Alberta. Upon retirement Marion and Rick were able to spend a number of winters in Yuma Arizona.  She became ill 4 years ago and decided to fulfill some of her dreams by travelling to a number of her bucket list locations. Included among those where Hawaii and an Alaskan Cruise, which she regarded as the best trip ever!  

 Marion’s love for dogs was always on display as she always had a dog by her side right to the end. Marion knew exactly what she wanted in life and enjoyed it to the end.  She was a very strong woman and people knew where they stood with her. On February 11th, 2021 Marion told her family: “I entered this world on February 12th, I am going to leave it on the same day” and she did just that. Adored by many, and loved by all, the world lost a true sparkle that day. Rest in peace Marion, never to be forgotten.
