Marolyn also loved to travel.  She went to England a few times, made many trips to Florida, went on a family Caribbean cruise and made many trips back to Kenora over the years.  Recently she enjoyed local trips to visit her grandchildren.

Marolyn was devoted to the church and was involved in many aspects.

Marolyn's passion for crafts, sewing and knitting led her to quilting. She has been involved in quilting groups for about 40 years. Most recently she was a friend and member of the Kawartha Quiltmakers Guild and the Helping Hands group, providing quilts for palliative care, women's shelters and many others in need.
