MILLS, Marlene Anne: It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Marlene Anne Mills on October 22, 2014. With family by her side, she passed on to her next journey, from her much adored community of Ladner, BC. Marlene leaves behind a large loving family, including her siblings Robert Mills (Irene), Irene Mills (David Wilson), Bryan Mills and Rick Boklage. Auntie Mar Mar's family extends to nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews who will all miss her dearly, as each and every one was her favourite. Marlene has many friends, from new to forever friends, who she has cherished and held so close and who will miss her greatly. She also loved her dear Annie II. Marlene was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1952 and grew up in Kelowna, BC. She worked hard in her career and was successful in business, but loved her latest job of being retired. Retired for Marlene meant volunteering for renovating, redecorating, fundraising and compiling her writing group's books, to name only a few items on her agenda. Her special times were spent with family, writing, painting, travelling, going to retreats, listening to music and spending time with her Callanish and Metastatic Cancer Support Group communities. Marlene will be remembered as a positive influence and a caring sister, aunt and friend. She loved to laugh, at good jokes and bad, and was always dressed to the nines. Now on to the shopping mall in the sky... Thank you to all of Marlene's family, friends, communities and medical team for your support over the years. Thank you to the kind staff at Irene Thomas Hospice. Marlene's Celebration of Life will be held from 1:00 - 3:30 pm on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at VanDusen Botanical Garden, 5251 Oak Street, Vancouver, BC. If desired, a donation to your favourite cause may be made in honour of Marlene, in lieu of flowers. "Rest easy Marlene" Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040.
