She will be missed by her brother Douglas Fraser (Ramona), sister Judith Coates (Stan) and sister-in-law Ruth Fraser.

Marianne impacted countless lives, including aunts, uncles,cousins,nieces and nephews and dear friends.  She had a strong faith which influenced every aspect of her life. 

Special thanks to the wonderful doctors, nurses and support workers who provided such compassionate care and support.
