Marion served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II before beginning her career as a Court Stenographer. A woman of immense strength and resilience, Marion faced life’s challenges with unwavering determination. She was admired for her kindness, grace, and the ability to bring people together. Her home was a place of warmth, where everyone was welcomed with a cup of tea and a home-cooked meal, and her legendary cooking created cherished memories for all who knew her.

She is survived by her children: Cathy Arseneault (Robert Drisdelle) and Richard Arseneault, both of Miramichi, NB; her son-in-law Jeff Hubbard of Alabama, USA; granddaughters Lauren Drisdelle and Isabel Hubbard; and sisters-in-law Gladys Savage, Bernice Savage, and Rhoda Savage.
