OVIDE MARION Peacefully on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, Ovide passed away at Actionmarguerite (Taché Centre) at the age of 85 years. Ovide lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years Florence (nee Fontaine), his children Mona (David) Otsuji, Colette (Mérille) Kirouac, Lorraine (Guy) Saurette, Gabriel and Denis (Kristen); 14 grandchildren, great-grandchildren; his siblings Antonia Fiola, Philibert (Agathe) and Dolores Tailleur as well as his brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his son Julien, daughter-in-law Lorraine, and his siblings Denise, Amédée, Roméo and Laurence. Ovide had a very strong faith and was a Grand Knight with the Knights of Columbus often volunteering with the Knights and the St. Boniface Cathedral. He was a dedicated husband and father who loved spending precious time with his grandchildren and family. He was an avid outdoors man and enjoyed playing the guitar and harmonica. Ovide worked for 34 years at Griffin Steel. He would be the first to help with anything and insisted on helping without asking for anything in return. Funeral mass will be held on Saturday, March 9 at the St. Boniface Cathedral, 190 ave de la Cathédrale at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ovide's name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 6 Donald Street Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6. Now you are in your Heavenly Home. We love you and will miss you. Condolences may be sent at www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca DESJARDINS 233-4949 1-888-233-4949

I had only know Mr.Marion for a few years but i know he was loved by all his children and grandchildren, he was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. No illness was ever going to stop him from doing the things he wanted whether it be playing music or sitting at the table surround by all of his family, i will remember him as the very strong willed man he was - Posted by: Laura Klassen (friend of the family) on: Mar 08, 2013

I worked for many years with Ovide at Griffin Steel and yes, he was a great worker, a kind person and a true friend. We are away for the winter and unable to attend the funeral. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May he rest in peace with the Lord. - Posted by: Herve and Noella Gagné (work friend) on: Mar 08, 2013

Uncle Ovide, whom we called Uncle Dave, was my father's brother-in-law. We lived on Des Meurons across and down the back lane from Uncle Ovide and Aunt Florence during the 1960's. A gentle and religious man whose smile was always present. Sincere condolences to the family. - Posted by: Roger Fontaine (nephew) on: Mar 07, 2013

I remember Mr. Marion from many years ago when we lived next door to them in St. Boniface. I was best friends with his daughter, Lorraine. He was a very kind man and had a gentle soul. I lost touch with them over the years, but wish to send sincere condolences to the family. May he rest in Peace surrounded by loved ones.
