聽聽 Marion and Harry were married in March 1951 and farmed at
Ponoka, AB until 1956 when they returned to Midale where Har-
ry and his brothers built and operated Rosengren?s Esso Ser-
vice. In 1968 Marion and Harry and family moved to the farm
south of Midale where they lived until 1984 at which time they
moved into Midale with Ken and Mary-Lou moving to the farm.
When Harry passed away Marion sold the house in Midale and
moved into Jacquin Place until failing health resulting from a
broken hip forced her to move into Mainprize Manor in 2009
where she resided until her passing. 聽
聽聽 Marion was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandma and
great-grandma who got so much joy from her grandchildren.
She loved having family and friends stop by to visit and she and
Harry did quite of bit of travelling with good friends to various
parts of Canada and the US.聽 One of her most memorable trips
was to England, Scotland and Wales in 1977 with her sister
Mona and niece Lynn. Marion also enjoyed playing cards, going
to dances and she and Harry also curled for many years in Mid-
ale. Marion was also a member of the Midale Catering Club for
several years.
聽聽 Marion loved the farm and always had a large garden, enjoyed
canning and baking- her homemade bread and dill pickles were
just the best!
聽聽 Her family is so appreciative of the wonderful, loving care
Marion received while in Mainprize Manor where she was treat-
ed like family by the staff there. 聽
聽聽 A Funeral Service was held on Monday, February 2, 2015 at
