MARIEN ADELE KENDALL (née WILLEY) March 27, 1943 - April 16, 2017 After a short illness, Marien passed away peacefully surrounded by family. She is survived by her husband, Robert, son David (Cheryl), daughter Debra (Ralf), brother Norman (Siriya), sister Darlene (Walter), sister Linda (Tom), brother Alan (Ingrid), and grandchildren Lilli, Chantal and Christopher. Marien was born in Beechy, Saskatchewan to Darrel and Elsie Willey. As a child her family moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. She attended high school at Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute in Outlook, Saskatchewan. Marien returned to Winnipeg to attend Teacher's College where she first met her future husband, Robert Kendall. They married in 1965. She then taught elementary school in Winnipeg and Powerview, Manitoba. In 1971 Marien and Robert moved to Gillam, Manitoba for a new position with Robert's job. Their children were born during their nine years in Gillam. Marien was very involved with her church in Gillam. She also was active in her community arts and crafts endeavours, and taught Sunday School at her church. In 1980 the family returned to Winnipeg for another change of position in her husband's career. After the children were older she started a 19 year career with the Angus Reid Group. During this time Marien was deeply involved with the Winnipeg Evangelical Free Church. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held May 2, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at Winnipeg Evangelical Free Church, 500 Lagimodiere Blvd. A private interment service will follow later at St. Vital Cemetery.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Marien for many years when I was working for Ipsos Reid - formerly Angus Reid. The thing I remember most about Marien was saying good night to everyone at the end of her shift - very friendly and classy. During breaks, she would share stories about her grandchildren. Marien loved working on her word puzzles. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time - Marien will be missed. - Posted by: Cindy Kelly (friend - co worker ) on: Apr 23, 2017
