- BROOKS (Taylor), Marion
It is with great sadness we announce her unexpected passing, Tuesday, August 11, 2015, in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII. Born in 1928 in Greenwich, she was a daughter of the late Vaughan and Grace (Anderson) Taylor (Hantsport). She was predeceased by her husband, Bob Brooks. Marion cherished the beauty of the Annapolis Valley and memories of growing up in Hantsport where she was an Apple Blossom Princess. She thoroughly enjoyed her profession as lab technologist, working in Point Edward, Yarmouth, and Halifax (VGH). Marion belonged to IODE for many years (Leif Erikson Chapter, Yarmouth, Marquis of Rockingham, Halifax) and served as Brownie leader in Yarmouth. In her pastime she played in various bridge clubs and continued to cook and try new recipes. Travel was a very important part of her life and she loved the many experiences it afforded. The cottage and close friends at Lake Annis meant the world to her and she considered one of the best places to be was sitting on the veranda by the lake with the hummingbirds buzzing by. Marion was known for her kindness, generosity and creativity and people marveled at her constant good nature. She will be so missed. Besides her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her sister, Ruby O\'Dell; niece, Jill O\'Dell and nephew, Carmen O\'Dell.
