Obituary for Marilyn Worrall
WORRALL, Marilyn Ruth
July 14, 1942 - October 12, 2023
Marilyn Worrall (nee Hiscott) passed into heaven peacefully surrounded by family on October 12, 2023, following a six-year battle with Alzheimers. Marilyn is survived by her husband, Keith, her eldest daughter, the late Laura Campbell (nee Worrall) (Duncan), her second daughter, Christine Goard (nee Worrall) (Jason), her son, Stephen Worrall (Baihua) and lastly, her five grandchildren, Jorden, Adam, Taylor, Emilie, and Ryan. Our family decided home care was the desired way to care for Marilyn rather than a retirement home. With the help of numerous personal care workers, three women in particular, Ivy, Danielle, and Suneela, who were with Marilyn from the beginning- Marilyn received the loving care she needed. Marilyn was born in Vancouver to parents Richard and Ethel Hiscott, the eldest sister to Janice Galbraith (nee Hiscott) and Pam Hiscott. Marilyn spent her early years travelling with her family through the Rocky Mountains and it was here she developed her love for nature and the great outdoors. When Marilyn was 15, her family moved to Niagara-on-the-Lake, where she would attend Niagara District Secondary School. It was here she met many of her lifelong friends. Upon Graduation, Marilyn worked at Thompson Products for seven years, where she would meet her soon-to-be husband, Keith. Keith and Marilyn dated for two years and married in 1966. Together they started Parkway Farms and raised their three children in the community of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Marilyn’s greatest passion was spending time with her extended family, especially her grandchildren, and when time allowed, travelling with her husband and family. She enjoyed having fun and was always looking for her next great adventure. She was a free spirit and was often seen hitting the open road in her “little green sports car” with her mom by her side, or any close friends and family willing to go for a ride. Marilyn will always be remembered for her infectious laugh, her selflessness, and her love for others. The family would like to thank everyone who cared for her so deeply. A special thank you to the caregivers at the Niagara Falls Hospital and Hospice Niagara who made her final days so comfortable.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Marilyn’s name can be sent to the Give in Memory / in Honour - Alzheimer Society Niagara Region.
Friends and family are invited to call at MORGAN FUNERAL HOME, 415 Regent Street, Niagara-on-the-Lake, on Thursday October 19, 2023, from 5 to 8 pm. A private family service will take place with interment at St. Marks Anglican Church Cemetery.
