Shirley Hewitt
Being the other half of the Cann-Hewitt family, Marion & Arnold opened their home to me when Jane & Brad married. After several trips to Canada I was always anxious to see the older Canns. Marion always greeted me with a sunshine of a smile and a hug and Arnold more a grin and a hug. Memories like this are treasured for me and all who knew Marion, for each person got the same smile. To Arnold my old friend, I send my hand in friendship so grip it when you need a little company. To Judith & Family & Brad & family, your loss is great but her rest is sweet. “For she likens me to Dorcas a woman full of good deeds” Acts 9/36. Sweet Dreams Marion, Shirley

Sincere sympathy to the Cann and Hodgert families –
We were sad this a.m. to read Marion had passed on. She was such a wonderful lady and always met us with a big smile
and warm heart. Last time we met the “Thames Road Ladies”
in the restaurant at Pt. Franks and had a quick and pleasant visit witth Marion and her Thames Road pals and all were having a great time together. There were lots of hugs and laughter from
them all to Larry and I. Keep smiling Ladies when you think of
Marion.
Marion leaves us many fond memories, and a great loss to Arnold, Brad, Judith and families including the Hodgerts.
Thinking of you at this very sad time. Larry and Joyce B

To Arnold, Judith & Rick, Brad & Jane and all of their families, my sincere sympathy.
I feel blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing such a remarkable woman. My first memory of Marion was shortly after she and Arnold had come back from their cruise. Her smile radiated the entire room. As I got to know her a little better, I realized that Marion smiled at life in general without a complaint or a bad word for anything. She was truly an inspirational individual who will be sadly missed.
I’m sure there is a special place in heaven for someone as warm and wonderful as her.
