Herbrand, Marilyn (1937-2024)
Marilyn passed away peacefully after a short but courageous battle with cancer, with her loving husband and children by her side on Thursday July 18th, 2024 at the age of 87 years.
She is survived by her husband of 65 yrs Henry Herbrand. Dear mother of Susan Barker of Orillia and Doug (Sharron) of North Bay. Grandma Marilyn will be sorely missed by her grandchildren Ryan Herbrand (Julia), Taylor Herbrand, & Allison Barker (Alex Crupi).

Marilyn will also be sorely missed by her nieces and nephews as well as her many friends and neighbours on Commanda Lake.
She was predeceased by her parents Helen & Neil Stewart, two brothers Bob & Bill Stewart, sister Marjorie (Art) Livingston and grandchild Benjamin Barker.
Marilyn retired in 1990 after a 15-year career working in various departments with the City of North Bay. She was also previously employed in the SAGE complex as well as Department of Highways and North Bay Collegiate.
After retirement, Marilyn fondest memories were spent with Henry at their home on Commanda Lake as well as their winter home in Florida. Marilyn was also thrilled to spend time with her grandchildren at the lake teaching them to swim and to enjoy all things away from their electronic devices.
Marilyn was a passionate, gardener, baker and seamstress and spent many hours knitting sweaters and other items for family and friends.
