March 11, 1929 – November 12, 2007

Marion Alma Taylor passed away peacefully on November 12, 2007 at the Muskoka Algonquin Health Centre, South Muskoka Memorial Hospital.

She was predeceased by her husband Lorne and was the loving mother of Darlene Taylor, Margaret (Pauline) Taylor and Joy Ann Taylor.

She was the much loved Gramma of Kristoffer (Wanda) Taylor, Leah Jarvis (A.J.), Ryan, Jessica, Megan Taylor-Weller, and Brandon Saunders; the beloved Great-Gramma to Caleb Jarvis, Hayley and Emma-Leigh Taylor.

Marion was born in Ullswater on March 11, 1929 to Hugh and Rebecca (Greer) Lee. She was the second daughter in a family of six sons. She was followed by three more sisters and two younger brothers. Mourning her loss are Ivan Lee, Kathleen McCombe, Rona Watkinson, Aileen Woods, Harvey Lee (Barbara), Marjory Sawyer (Bud) and Carl Lee (Brenda). She was predeceased by Ernie, Hughie, Jim, Tom and Grenville Lee.

She lived in many of the area towns throughout her childhood, wherever her dad found work. There was one small school that was going to be closed until the Lee family moved in. Then there were enough students to keep it open.

Marion and Lorne lived on Taylor Road in Bracebridge. She remained there until his death, moving into town with her daughter Joy Ann. She was able to overcome many health problems, until her condition needed hospitalization. She remained there until her passing.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Barbara Graham at Reynolds Funeral Home. Interment followed at the St. Thomas Anglican Cemetery.

A loving tribute was given by her granddaughter Leah Jarvis. Wanda Reid and Leah read from the Bible. A verse, written by Linda McCombe was read by Irene Beasley.

Pallbearers were Jim Fanning, Matt Peaks, Bill Woods, Keith Woods, Jennifer Blandford and A.J. Leppard. Honorary pallbearers were Crystal (Fanning) Poirier, Gwen Terry, Lester Weller and Warren Thompson.

She gave us the warmth of her love, taught us the joy of laughter. She was there for us always. We will carry her in our hearts forever. We love you Mom.
