Mrs. Marilyn Yvonne Locke of Grand Harbour, Grand Manan Island passed away at the Grand Manan Hospital on Monday October 26, 2015. She was born the daughter of Howard and Beulah (Brown) Ingalls of Grand Harbour. Marilyn had a great spirit for life with her quick wit and ability to laugh and find the brighter side of life. She was very social as she enjoyed the company of friends playing darts at the Legion on Thursday evenings, bingo games, knitting with friends over coffee, and ramoli nights with the "girls". Marilyn and her husband Allen enjoyed their camp on the Flat Iron Pond, where hunting season was always a time of year that they looked forward to as they spend time together in the autumn months. Her love for her family is one of the memories of Marilyn that she will be remembered most for as she enjoyed her children’s company and spending time with her grandchildren.
Besides her parents she is survived by her husband Allen of Grand Harbour, daughter Naomi Brooks (Kirk) of Musquash. Her son Mark Locke (Billie Jo) of Grand Harbour, and one sister Verna Ingalls also of Grand Harbour.
