Help Lay Marion Bruce to Rest

The family of Marion Bruce is trying to raise money to help with her funeral and a headstone as Marion didn’t have any kind of life insurance for this terrible tragedy. We want to do everything we can to lift the financial burden off from the family. Marion and her family found out about 2 months ago she had ovarian cancer that had spread throughout her whole body. Unfortunately, she declined very quickly and passed away from the cancer taking over her body on October 11th with her loved ones by her side. Marion was such a loving, caring, and kind soul who would help anyone she could. Your help and donations are so much appreciated to help her family maneuver to lay Marion to rest. She will be missed by her family and friends dearly. I have posted her obituary below. We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts as we grieve this terrible loss.

Marion Bruce, age 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Friday, October 11, 2024.

Marion was born on December 18th, 1947, to Lawrence and Evelyn (Kenniston) French.

Marion was a loving and kind soul with a spirited personality that left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

She had a passion for the simple joys of life, enjoying activities like bird watching, browsing flea markets, and hunting for treasures at lawn sales and auctions. Her excitement for bingo and rummage sales was infectious, bringing joy to those around her with her sassy yet sweet nature. She cherished spending time with her grandchildren and treating them to her famous homemade French onion dip through the holiday seasons and during their camping endeavors.
