Dec. 1, 1959 – Sept. 1, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Marilyne Rita Aubin Simard on Sept. 1, 2025, at the age of 65 years.
Born on Dec. 1, 1959, Marilyne was a beautiful soul whose strength, kindness, and selflessness shone through in everything she did. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunty, friend, sister and so much more — a woman whose heart had no limits.
Marilyne dedicated her life to caring for others, both personally and professionally. She began her career as a talented hairdresser and later worked with Alberta Health Services, where her compassion and warmth made a lasting impact.
She found her greatest joy in spending time with her family — especially her grandchildren. She lived for her grandchildren and she was the best Meme ever. Whether she was camping, traveling, or simply sharing laughter and love around the table, Marilyne created moments filled with love, joy, and connection. She was the heart of our family, a woman who gave endlessly, loved fiercely, and lived beautifully. Her laughter filled our days, her wisdom guided us, and her hugs made everything right again.
Marilyne will be forever remembered and deeply missed by: her husband, Gerry Simard; her daughters Misty, Kym (Chris), and Tamara; and her beloved grandchildren Christina, Anikin, Grayson, Kasha, Kenley, Kinnin, Kova, and Khalin. She also leaves behind extended family and countless friends who loved her dearly.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Her love, strength, and beautiful spirit will live on in all who were blessed to know her.
