Marmy

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Marmy: mother of seven, grandmother of fourteen, great-grandmother of three, and the most incredible woman we have ever known. The world is now a little less magical! 

Her early years

Marmy took a nursing course as a young woman, before her children came along. She worked at Norm's restaurant before she was married, and it was roller skating that brought her together with the love of her life, Calvin, whom we all came to know as Pappy. He would come into Norm's just to see her, and she would make his milkshakes extra thick, with extra ice cream.  Over the years she also babysat, worked at Mark's Work Warehouse, was an Avon consultant, and took a hairdressing course. She canvassed for cancer research, and she even shaved her head alongside her granddaughter to raise money for the cause.

Her hands were never still

Marmy was an artist and a creator in everything she touched. Her ceramics were works of art, beautifully painted, many of them lit up with lights and some with music boxes inside. She also did pottery and macrame. Her and Pappy made cement steppingstones from rhubarb leaves and filled the yard with lawn crafts: Bo Peeps and sheep, skunks and bears. She sewed our clothes so that the whole family matched, right down to her own dress and Pappy's shirt. She made quilts and Christmas vests, and she crocheted blankets, sweaters, placemats, drying mats, scrubbies, and hot pots for all of us. She and Pappy entered many craft and vendor shows, including the Keady Market and the Ploughing Match. Every Christmas each of us received something she had made with her own two hands.

The heart of our home was her kitchen

Marmy was an amazing baker. She made all different kinds of pies, cupcakes, cookies, cakes, tarts and she baked twenty loaves of bread at the start of every week for us. We ate a loaf after school, before dinner, every day, with her homemade strawberry jam. Her pies were one of a kind and people loved them.  She once made 105 pies for a show in Holstein. She preserved peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, tomatoes, relish, jams, and jellies. She had a big flower garden, and her and Pappy grew many vegetables to fill the freezer for the winter. She was a fantastic cook and could cook for hundreds of people at a time. Her and Pappy catered the entire meal for some of our weddings, and she took meals to people who lived alone. She would try anything, from pigtails to Chinese food, flaming duck, and fish and chips, though macaroni was always our favorite. She also had the best cereal cupboard for the grandkids; Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese's Puffs, and Cap'n Crunch.

Our childhood home

Marmy and Pappy raised chickens and had a Jersey cow named Pixie, whom they milked to give us our milk and make our butter. There were also horses we rode, sheep, veal calves, dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a raccoon. They loaded the whole family into a tent trailer and took us camping out east and out west. She believed cherry brandy could prevent and treat any illness. Many of our favorite memories are at the lake, laughing, eating, swimming and splashing in the hot tub in the winter. Often, we didn't want to get out of the water, so she would bring snacks to us.

Always in our corner

Marmy and Pappy coached our T-ball teams, and encouraged us to be involved in baton, music, skiing and sports. She loved watching all our sports and events. She’d cheer from the stands and had a pocketful of toonies to give to the grandkids after their games. She loved dancing with Pappy and together, they would light up the dance floor! The two of them also loved to snowmobile together. Above all, Marmy loved having her family together. If one of us was coming over, she would invite the rest so that we could all be there at once, and whenever we gathered, out came the cards, and the whole family played together. She would pick up the sick grandkids from school and take them through the McDonald's drive-thru, since she knew they weren't really sick, and she coordinated picking up their cousin who just happened to be finishing a co-op at the same time. 

Full of life

Marmy was always excited and loved life. She loved every minute of her full and busy life, and she did so much for everyone around her. She danced in the rain. She loved a party, always included everyone and prepared many treats and desserts.  She made her own Santa suit, dressed up as Santa Claus at Christmas, and gave gifts to all the children. She loved Hallowe’en and dressed up for it every year, and she loved Christmas, with tons of preparation and decorations and hundreds of cookies. She didn’t seem to mind not sleeping at all, so she could get it all done. Her sleepovers and swimming days with the whole family and all the cousins were so much fun, and she loved singing "I Love You, a Bushel and a Peck" to us whenever she could.

Marmy to everyone

Friends and neighbors were always included and everyone felt like they were part of the family. Many of our own friends called her Marmy too, and in her home, everyone was welcome, fed, and loved. She was smart, witty, creative, and thoughtful, and so full of love, the kind that showed up in every homemade meal and handmade gift.

Remembered by

Marmy is lovingly remembered by her children, grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, her sister, her nieces and nephews as well as the many friends and neighbors who were family to her. She is reunited with her husband, Calvin (Pappy). Our family has lost a really special piece of its heart, but we find comfort in knowing she is back with Pappy.

Marmy's greatest joy was having all of us under one roof, and we hope that wherever we gather now, we'll feel her there with us.

Thank you, Marmy, for feeding us, creating for us, cheering us on, and filling our childhoods with love and core memories we will talk about forever. We hope that wherever you are, you have Pappy, a good cup of coffee, and a project on the go. You were as sweet as everything you ever baked!  We will love and miss you!
