January 2nd, 1939 – February 16th, 2018
Marilyn Searle (nee Dodd) passed peacefully on the morning of February 16th, 2018 at home in St. George. Marilyn is predeceased by her beloved husband Bill, parents Lottie and William Dodd of Westdale, and sister Janet Harris. Marilyn always had a keen sense for high quality and was a very talented sewer and painter, both of which brought her much joy. Her true passion though was her family and she will be remembered as a devoted and supportive wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Marilyn will be deeply missed by her children Bill, Tom (Rebecca) and Lesley (Rick), her grandchildren Julia, Derek and Amanda, her cousins, their families and her friends. Marilyn and her family wanted to extend heartfelt thanks to all of her friends for staying in touch; she really appreciated it. Please join us for a visitation with the family and for Marilyn’s favourite food “funeral sandwiches” & refreshments at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St. in Dundas on Wednesday, February 21st from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm and 7:00 – 9:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please make donations to a charity of your choice. An interment ceremony will be held in the spring for both Marilyn & Bill.

Bill, Tom & Leslie, My deepest condolences to you. Although I knew your Mom (& Dad) only for a short time, I quickly came to see she was a kind and generous soul through our interactions. She was always keen to ask me about or tell me about a recipe that she had made or saw in a magazine and wanted to try out, She dearly loved her family and before I met any of you, I felt I already knew you, from the wonderful stories that she told. Your Mom was Truly Proud of each and everyone of you. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
We wish to convey our deepest sympathies to Marilyn’s Family. So very sorry for your loss.
