MURPHY, Marlene Linda

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marlene Linda (O’Leary) Murphy, of Ellershouse, on January 1, 2018.

Marlene was the daughter of the late Foster and Dorothy (Shunamon) O’Leary.

 

Born in Windsor on October 4, 1956, Marlene loved being part of a large loving family with 12 siblings! She regularly took part in teasing the younger siblings, who took great pleasure in her fun, loving nature. She loved her weekends at the camp in Stillwater, fishing and spending time with her family, and gardening at home. Most recently Marlene was the manager of the Tim Horton’s in Windsor for over 20 years. She cherished her Tim Horton’s family and the regulars that visited the store. Her beautiful smile and uplifting sense of humor will be greatly missed.
