OADES, Marion Louise (nee Large) Peacefully at the Ottawa Hospital General Campus on October 22, 2007. Beloved wife and best friend of Robert William Oades. Cherished mother of Susan Hazell-Oades, Jennifer Oades (Brendan Reynolds) and Valerie Gamache (Guy). Special Nana to Jon and Robert Hazell, Emma and Adam Trottier and Caitlin, Jean-Rene, Guy-Robert and Nicolas Gamache. Dear sister of Bill Large (Linda) of Luton, England. Born in Royton, England in 1935, the girl in blue (Luton Girls Choir) married the man in red (Irish Guards Band) in 1953 and started a wonderful life in Canada that same year. While in Toronto (1953-1969), Marion sang with the Palmer Singers and St Clement's Anglican Church Choir. Marion was an avid volunteer in her community for her entire life, serving the Girl Guides of Canada, the National Arts Centre Orchestra Association, St. Matthias Church, The Ottawa Regional Cancer Clinic and was co-founder with her husband, Bob, of the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour. Marion's many friends will miss her on the golf course, at the bridge table, at the book club and at her dinner table where she loved to entertain. Marion's compassion and laughter will be greatly missed by every life she touched. Enormous thanks and appreciation to the entire oncology team at the Ottawa Regional Cancer clinic, but especially to Dr. Stan Gertler and Candace Quinn for their excellent care over the last 13 years. Special thanks also to Dr. Hradecky, Dr. Louise Coulombe, Dr. John Seely, nurses Debbie and Kelly, and the Rev. Joan Riding. A memorial service will be held at St. Matthias Anglican Church, 555 Parkdale Avenue, Ottawa on Saturday, October 27th at 11 a.m. Reception to follow in the church hall. In lieu of flowers donations to either the Ottawa Regional Cancer Clinic or the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation-Ontario Chapter would be appreciated.
