On August 19th 2025 Marilyn Eyre died at the Sturgeon Hospital in St. Albert Alberta with her husband of 60 years, Robert (Bob) Eyre by her side. She was 88 years old.
She is survived by her husband Bob, her children Coral LeCroix (Jean) and Dean (Nicole), her grandchildren Steven (Julie), Alex Doucet, and Ariel Durant (Tate), her brothers Robert Mitchell (Carol) and Dale Mitchell (Evelyn), and her sisters Sharon Delorey (Andy), Dolores Beaujot (Norbert), Debbie Sandbeck (Jim) and Kelly McCarger (Brian).
She is predeceased by her parents Clarence Mitchell and Joy Mitchel (nee Thoman).
Marilyn was born in the dry hills south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on her family’s farm, the oldest of seven children. Throughout her life she lived in Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Surrey, BC, and finally St. Albert, Alberta.
She worked all of her life until almost her final days. She worked in retail, as an entrepreneur and in childcare. She was a daring and adventurous cook who was famous for her baking. Cinnamon buns and fried chicken were especial treats. Meals at her table were delicious. Marilyn was an expert gardener like her mother, and like her father she had a special bond with animals. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
There will be a public service in her memory on Sept 10th at 1pm at the St. Albert Legion.
