Ken St. Marie of Hanover, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at Hanover District Hospital on Saturday May 23rd, 2026 in his 87th year.
Born in Clifford On August 1st, 1939 to the late Austin and Anna Mary Catherine (nee Huber) St. Marie. His life was his family, who he loved dearly and supported anyway he could.

Devoted Grandpa of Joanna (Eric), Jennifer (Dan), Jade (Madi), Ryan and Jacob. He will be remembered by his great-granddaughter Dylan and was looking forward to the arrival of his second great-granddaughter in June.
You could always count on him for a laugh, his humour and quick wit were second to none. Enjoying a game of cards or a round of golf with friends were some of his favourite pastimes. One of his several talents was woodworking. There are many family and friends that have his custom projects in their homes with a memory to share with it. He was an avid sports fan until the end, cheering on the Bluejays and Maple Leafs.
Fondly remembered by his siblings Florence, Maurice (Jean Bacon), Jean Currie (sister-in-law).
Predeceased by siblings Della (Clayton Schneider), Bernice (Edgar Weber), Bill Wells (brother-in-law), Gerry and Larry (Linda Hanson).
