Obituary of Marion Esther Hosegood

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our much loved mom, grandmother and great grandmother who died peacefully in the early hours of Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at the age of 94 years. Marion lost her best friend and husband, Peter on December 28, 1972 and was also predeceased by two infant sons on April 30, 1947 and August 4, 1950, and her sister Gwen in June 2001. Left to honour her memory are her daughters, Sharon (nee Blue) (Jim) Klemke and Wendy (Dan) Orienti and their children Peter (Ines) Potsepp, Sara Orienti and Kai Orienti, son Bill (Linda) Hosegood and their children Ian (Shannon) along with Bill and Ben Hosegood, Melanie (Tim) along with Ella and Sam Failler, Brennen Hosegood and Jeremy (Melissa) Hosegood; brother Geoff Burtonshaw; sisters-in-law Betty (George) McLeod and Betty Moore, brothers-in-law Alan (Ruth) Hosegood and Les Green as well as other relatives and friends. Marion was born in a log cabin in Manitoba to two adventurous English parents. During the war she met her best friend and love of her life, Peter. After the war they farmed at Radisson, raising three children. When Peter died in 1972 Marion moved to Regina where she worked in the Globe Theatre costume shop and took University classes in costume design. After retirement she took art classes to enhance her natural creative gifts. Her paintings are enjoyed in homes across Canada. She had an amazing ability to make friends and live a full and productive life through the many changes that came her way. Throughout her many activities she always loved to keep up with the lives of her ever growing family. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Marys Anglican Church, 3337 15th Avenue, Regina, SK, on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Claude Schroeder, officiating.
