With heavy hearts, the family announces the passing of Marie on February 22, 2021.
Survived by her loving husband Russell, Curtis (Lori) & Shari (Darren). Siblings Ron, Christine, and Judy (Danny).
Also a special niece Nicole (Chris, Tayler & Brad). Her lifelong friend Paulette, as well as many extended family and friends.
Marie will be missed for her friendly hugs, huge smile, and her infectious laughter.
Cremation has taken place, a service will be held at a later date.
What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose. For all that we deeply loved become part of us.
Marie left us all in awe of her
strength and determination
and will always be remembered
for her huge loving heart.
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never
be more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in our heart.
Remember me when flowers bloom
early in the spring.
Remember me on sunny days
in the fun that summer brings.
Remember me in the fall
as you walk through the leaves of gold
and in the wintertime – remember me
in the stories that are told.
But most of all remember
each day – right from the start
I will be forever near
For I live within your heart.

I’m sending a dove to Heaven
with a parcel on its wings
Be careful when you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million hugs
to say how much I miss you
and to send you all my love
I hold you close within my heart
and there you will remain
to walk with me throughout my life
Until we meet again
I miss you like wildfire. This is unfair 🙁
Love you forever and always Aunty marie
My Bestest Friend
No matter how many friends I have
No matter how much I talk to them or spend time with them
No one can replace you
You were,are and will always be irreplaceable
You have a special place in my heart forever
Love
Paulette

My condolences to Russ and family. Marie was such a friendly lady, it was always so nice to see her when she dropped in to see Russ.
God bless you all. ❤️
You fought a long and hard fight, no doubt you are now in Heaven looking down on us. We will miss your beautiful smile, good humour and your unwavering love and support for your family, relatives and friends. You may be gone but you will not be forgotten.
Marie will be greatly missed by me and my family. Her infectious laughter and smile and hugs every time we met will be missed so much. I loved the times we got together and will always cherish those memories. She fought a courageous battle but it was not to be. My sincere condolences to Russell , Christine and the whole family. God only takes the best. Hugs and love to all.
Russ, so sorry to hear of Marie passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time

Russell. Judy and Peterson Family, I am not a person of many words. I feel your pain and I send virtual hugs your way. Marie was a Angel as she lived among us and she will be your angel now as she is above you.
While you are sleeping Angels have conversations with your souls, embrace those dreams, believe them .
Russell & Family – we were both so sorry to hear of Marie’s passing. She was just so kind and pleasant – we always
enjoyed our visits when our paths crossed. Caring thoughts being sent your way. Karen and Mel Lanthier
Marie was a wonderful, thoughtful person and a great person to work with at the Post Office. Even though we had not seen her in a long time she was always remembered. Our condolences to Russell.

Marie I am going to miss you so much. I know we did not get to spend much time together after I moved away 43 years ago but I always enjoyed keeping in touch with you. You were a wonderful friend to me when we were in school. We had so much fun together. Russell I am so sorry for your loss and I know Marie will live on through you. You will always mean so much to me. Love you and miss you.
I met Marie 2 years ago and she was a wonderful caring person, she will be sadly missed….Russ , Judy and the Peterson family, my heart goes out to each and everyone of you …..Caring thoughts and prayers to you all…My condolences ….Hugs
News of Marie’s illness and ultimately her passing tremendously impacted me.
Her positivity, humour and kind demeanour are the takeaways that will always remain close at heart for me.
I have very fond lifelong memories of Marie. From an early age, I always enjoyed visiting the Peterson household with my parents and sister. The Peterson house always seemed to ripple with energy. Marie always took the time to say a special hello and even as a teenager, she seemed to take a genuine interest in the lives of all those around her – a quality that would define her throughout her life.
When my sister Charmaine was preparing her wedding, she enlisted me (unsuspecting teen at the time) to be a bartender and server at her wedding shower. I distinctly recall Marie that day. She was having such a good time with friends and other family members at the event. She was absolutely glowing.
I relocated to Regina, Saskatchewan a number of years ago. A few years back, I was happily surprised to pick up the ringing phone to hear Marie’s friendly voice. She and Russell were passing through on their way back to Winnipeg on the tail end of a road trip and she was hoping that we could connect. My spouse Joanne and I had a wonderful evening outing with them.
Most recently, Marie reached out to me on the very day my beloved father passed away, just a few days before Christmas 2019. When answering the phone, Marie began the conversation by offering her condolences and then detailing that she did not know what to say, but that she was there, there to listen. What followed was a wonderful talk about dad at a time when I was numb and shattered. I will never forget that conversation with Marie. Gutsy, loving and ‘there’ – she exuded class.
Whereas she was so quick at reaching out as explained above, my own personality differs. I internalize deeply and process over time. Thoughts of Marie and family have been with me many times since she passed away. I certainly owe it to her to document these thoughts and feelings given the very positive impact that she has left with me. I will always greatly miss her.
