To watch Livestream click the link: Marilyn Young Service of Remembrance

Marilyn (nee Mitchell) grew up on a farm in Thamesford, Ontario.  She studied piano from a young age and began her teaching in a one room school in Zorra.  After studying the education of special needs children at Syracuse University, she started teaching in Rexdale, before settling in Oakville and switching to teaching piano.

Marilyn was an active woman who enjoyed being outside in the fresh air, riding a bike for transportation, hiking, camping, and paddling around southern Ontario.  She was a curious traveler who enjoyed trips to northern destinations and deep dives into various provinces and states.  She shared her passion by volunteering with Bruce Trail, and Seniors for Nature Outdoor Club

Indoors she loved sewing, needle work, and drawing.

She maintained a positive attitude throughout her later life medical issues, never letting her ailments define her.  She was a voracious reader and continued to enjoy literature and non-fiction to the very end.

Marilyn is survived by Norman, her loving husband of 56 years and her cherished son, Tobin (Pamela).

The family would like to thank the medical staff who supported her through her ailments and many friends and family who called and dropped by to say hello.  She always felt connected.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Parkinson Canada or Bruce Trail Conservancy would be welcomed.  Cremation has taken place.

A Service of Remembrance to be held at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home Sunday September 26, 2021 at 2:00 pm. It will be Livestreamed and can be viewed at this time by clicking the link above.
