Always good for a laugh It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Marion Cuppage on December 9, 2022.

Marion was born in Toronto to Arthur and Euthemia Grace, and lived her 83 years there.

She was predeceased by her parents; her three siblings: Eileen, Robert, and Darryl; and her husbands: John Coulter, Buddy Richardson, and James Cuppage.

Marion is survived by several beloved family members: her son, Andrew Coulter; grandchildren, Dudley and Madeline; sisters-in-law, Diane and Lina; and many nieces, nephews, stepchildren, and grandchildren.

She also leaves behind her lifelong friend, Marlene.

Marion wasn't shy to venture into a casino, a concert, a bowling alley, or to enjoy the odd martini (even if she had to sneak it in). She was always up for road trips, especially to Paisley, or for a celebration with friends, even if it was just to the local coffee shop.

Marion was known for her constant smile, inviting laugh, and positive attitude; there wasn't much that got her down. She was blessed to be surrounded by several close friends who she enjoyed playing cards and socializing with.

A large part of her life was spent as a caregiver to her family and friends; her kindness and generosity were felt by all who passed her way. Although not financially rich, Marion always felt very rich in life.

For the last eight years, Marion lived and shared her life with her sister-in-law and closest friend, Diane Hickman. Diane's love, care, and companionship were a constant blessing to her. She was also ever thankful for the love and support provided by Cathy Foti and Maryanne Welch.

Marion requested that her gravestone read, 'Always good for a laugh!'

The world has lost an extraordinary lady and she will be greatly missed by those who were lucky enough to have laughed along with her.

A Celebration of Life will take place in March at SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL CENTRE - PICKERING .

“Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?”

Marlene Beatrice Dunning (née Hummel), also known as “Squeak” to a loving few, passed away– after holding on as long as she could, surrounded by family and friends on December 7, 2022 at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa, Ontario.

Survived by her husband Reg, three sons David, Andrew and Joseph, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and many close friends–­­ too many to mention.

Born and raised in Ontario’s beautiful north, alongside her three brothers– Gary, Tom and Brent and sister Valerie.

Marlene was always at home and felt complete when she was in the outdoors.

There are many fond memories of camping at Algonquin park with her family, especially at Tea Lake. Marlene was a very complex person but very simplistic in terms of what made her happy.

All she wanted was to see her boys, spend time with their families and be close to her best friend and husband Reg of 57 years.

Married on August 2, 1965 in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, they lived all over the country landing in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Montreal, and finally Toronto, before moving to Whitby to raise their three boys.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday December 17, 2022 from 12:00 - 4:00pm at W.C. TOWN FUNERAL CHAPEL, 110 Dundas Street East, Whitby.

In lieu of flowers, if you can, donations can be made to Covenant House (https://covenanthousetoronto.ca) or the Scott Mission. (https://scottmission.com) .

March 9, 1944 - December 1, 2022

"Life is good." It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Merilyn, after a short battle with cancer, surrounded by her loving family on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry.

Devoted wife of 58 years to John; mother to Leanne (Douglas) and Lisa (Scott); grandmother to Kirsten (Nicholas), Lindsay (Josh), Roland and Claire; great-grandmother to Anthony, Audalina, Ethan and Emmett.

Devoted sister to Shelagh (Brian); aunt to Kathleen; and great-aunt to Aidan.

Born in Yorkshire, England, daughter of Roland and Evaleen Hudson, Merilyn immigrated to Canada in 1952 with her family, settling in Uxbridge where her father was a teacher and vice-principal for many years. She attended elementary and high school there, graduating in 1961.

In that same year she met John, who would become the love of her life, marrying at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Uxbridge on May 2, 1964.

She attended Shaw Business College, which led to her lifetime career in the travel industry. Two years after their marriage, John was transferred to Regina, where Leanne was born in 1967. After a short stay, they moved to Winnipeg and then on to Ottawa, where Lisa was born in 1970 and where they spent fifteen wonderful years, meeting many of their close, lifelong friends.

In 1984, John was transferred for the final time back to Toronto, settling in Pickering where they live to this day.

Volunteering was another passion of Merilyn's, and she spent more than twenty years dedicating her time to Canadian Blood Services and Community Care Meals on Wheels. She was particularly proud of her more than 180 blood donations.

Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation at Low and Low Funeral Home in Uxbridge on Friday, December 9, 2022, from 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Uxbridge on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at 11 a.m., to be followed by a reception at the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry or the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
