TOPP, Marie Barbara (Dowhaniuk)
June 24, 1923 - Jan. 25, 2014
Marie passed away peacefully at the Peace Arch Hospital with family at her side. Born on her family's farm in Opal, Alberta, she often spoke of the simple life in her early years. Milking the cows and walking to school in the bitter cold and snow. She moved to BC and met her future husband Herb. Together they experienced what life had to offer. Road trips to the Southern States with their trailer was a joyful experience they both shared. Marie enjoyed distance walking especially down at the ocean. She took special interest in all of natures offerings along the way. Over the years they met and formed many strong relationships. One of her favorite places was her bed where she would write beautiful letters and tackle crossword puzzles. She is survived by son Shawn, stepchildren Frances and Mike. A Celebration of Her Life will be held from 1-4pm on Friday, February 21st, at Beecher Place, 12160 Beecher St., South Surrey
