Obituary of Marilyn Myrtle Galan
It is with deep sadness that the family of Marilyn Galan announces her passing. Born on November 9, 1948, Marilyn was the cherished daughter of the late Harvey and Myrtle Miller.
Marilyn’s life was defined by the deep love and pride she had for her family. Known for her wonderful sense of humor and her passion for golf, she lived life fully and with a ready smile.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Dennis Galan.
Marilyn was the loving mother of Brian Galan (Tracie) and Gary Galan (Lucette).
She will be deeply missed by her siblings: Evelyn and Robert.
Marilyn was predeceased by her siblings Lorne, Lorna, and Ray.
Her joy multiplied with the arrival of her seven grandchildren and her sixteen great-grandchildren—a remarkable legacy of love that brought her immense happiness. Brian and Tracie blessed her with four grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, while Gary and Lucette gave her three beautiful granddaughters and six great-grandchildren.
Marilyn will be profoundly missed, but her warm spirit, infectious laughter, and the love she instilled in her family will live on.

Therefore, all donations will be directed to the Highview Golf Course in Powassan ON, in support of their Youth Golf Program.
