Beloved wife of Daniel Jodoin. Loving mother of Diane (Sam), Camille (Phil) and special pet Oliver. Dear sister of Margaret (Frank), Syl (Carol), Terry, Ruth, and Wayne (Robin).

Marilyn loved to read, to travel, to spend time with family and friends and to find a good bargain.

Dan, Family and Friends,
We are deeply saddened and sorry to hear of the passing of Marilyn. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends.
For the little time that we shared with Marilyn, you realized from the moment you met her that she was a kind and loving soul and always worrying about everybody else ahead of herself!
We pray that she’s in a better place where someone is looking after her for a change.
Robert and Lynn Hawkins
Marilyn (and Dan) was a treasured friend. We got together frequently for meals and fun. Even better were the numerous trips we made as couples to Palm Springs, Phoenix, and of course the girls trips to Europe. Her passing will leave a big hole in our lives.
Finance Council at St. Patrick’s Fallowfield
Members of Finance Council are deeply saddened by the death of Marilyn, a dedicated member of the Parish and an exemplary member of Finance Council. The past year at the Parish was challenging yet, despite that fact, rather than resign from Finance Council, Marilyn chose to devote an extensive amount of her precious time to the Parish finances and administration, all the whilst, enduring repeated treatments and operations caused by an insidious and ravaging pancreatic cancer. Marilyn was not just a friend and colleague but, was also hard working, incredibly bright, kind, loving, empathetic, compassionate, loyal, and, had a moral compass that she was not afraid to voice when required. We loved Marilyn and we will miss her dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dan, Diane and Camille.

It is 36 years since I first met Marilyn and although our meetings have been infrequent over the years, the one thing that will remain with me is Marilyn's open friendliness, constant smile, cheerful laugh and infectious good nature. Dan, Camille and Diane - I will remember you especially in my prayers as you adjust to this new way of being without her physical presence in your lives, but rest assured, she remains with you in so many other ways.

To Marilyn’s Immediate family, and her brothers and sisters, I was shocked to hear about Marilyn’s passing. I have many fond memories of our summers together at our respective cottages in Chapeau. Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers.

We weren’t close; and didn’t spend a lot of time together, but when we did chance to meet, Marilyn was always so welcoming and warm. Whenever we would see her, she seemed to always know what was going on in our lives. That was a special quality. Such a beautiful person. I like to think that memories ensure those who are lost to us are never forgotten. She will be remembered always with much love. Our heartfelt condolences to Dan and the girls. ❤️
Dear Dan, Diane & Sam, Camille & Phil,
We are so sorry for your loss & hope with each step you take, you gain strength to take the next step.
We grief with you as our time ran out ....
TIME ~
- too slow for those who wait
- too swift for those who fear
- Too long for those who grieve
- Too short for those who rejoice
But for those who Love ~ Time is not....
and Marilyn was loved by all???
Rest in Peace, sweet friend????
