GRAVELLE (nee Therrien), Marion-May 1933-November 21, 2016
It is with profound sorrow that the family of Marion Gravelle announces her passing on November 21, 2016, at the Algonquin Nursing Home in Mattawa. Marion joins her parents Albert and Helen Therrien (nee Guilbeault), her husband Nelson and their infant daughter, Jeannine, her brother Roy Therrien and her sister Ella Gravelle, all predeceased.
Surviving Marion are her loving children Claude (Kathleen) Brampton, Armand (Debbie) Kitchener, Jacques (Lise) North Bay, Marilyn Meinke (Dave) Mattawa, Paul (Lise) Kitchener and Jean Kelly (Joe) Mattawa. Marion will be deeply missed by 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Countless heart-warming memories are left behind with her siblings, Francis (Helen) Mattawa, Jean Brown (Art) Listowel, Irene Chauvin (Sonny Simon) Mattawa and Dorothe Woods (Bill) Niagara Falls. She will be affectionately remembered by her nieces, nephews, and numerous relatives, with whom she enjoyed visiting with over the years.
Marion was fond of reading, enjoyed writing poetry, playing Scrabble and spending hours completing puzzles. Her home was the gathering place for numerous family celebrations and where many cups of coffee and homemade cinnamon buns were appreciated by friends. Marion always had a "feeling" that you were going to drop by for a visit.
Visitation and the sharing of memories will take place from 2:00 PM- 4:00 PM and 7:00-9:00 PM on Thursday, November 24, 2016 at the Martyn and Sloan Mattawa Chapel. A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, November 25th, at St. Anne Catholic Church in Mattawa where Marion was a long-time member of the Catholic Women's League. Father Beachy will be officiating mass.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to the caring staff of the Algonquin Nursing Home for taking such remarkable care of Marion.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the March of Dimes Canada will be gratefully acknowledged by the family. Online condolences www.martynfh.com
