MILLAR: Marian
Posted By On December 10, 2023 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 6 Comments
Marian Millar, 89, of Goderich, Ontario, passed away on December 10, 2023. She was born on March 17, 1934, in Goderich, to John and Mary MacDonald. She married her husband, Fredrick Ross Millar on June 23, 1951. They lived in Clinton until they bought their forever home in Goderich in the early 60s. Marion’s home was her castle. The “Millar House” was where the door was always open for friends and family to chat, play cards, and visit around the table. This is where she raised her five children, held countless family gatherings, and created everlasting memories for anyone. Marion’s empathetic nature welcomed anyone that needed a helping, caring hand. Her compassionate heart knew no boundaries especially when it came to family. Losing her mother, Mary, at the age of 17 was never lost on her. Her brothers held a special place in her heart (Archie, Jack, Frank, and Bill) and so did her nieces and nephews. Marion believed community was important. She donated her time to being an Officer of the Legion Auxiliary for many, many years. Not only was the legion important to her, but Bingo also played an important part in her life. It wasn’t the thrill of “B11” being called to win the Jackpot, but rather time to be with friends, socialize, and raise money for the betterment of the community. She was predeceased by her Husband Frederick Ross Millar and survived by her children MaryAnn Overgaauw (Fred), Beverly Britton (David), Patricia Sheardown, Rick Millar (Lisa) and Carol McClinchey (Jamie). Her 12 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren. Visitation will be held McCallum & Palla Funeral Home on Friday, December 15, 2023, from 2-5pm with Funeral Service being held at the funeral home on Saturday December 16, 2023, beginning at 12pm. Interment Maitland Cemetery
