Obituary of Marie Jeanette Kwik

Born in Merland, Nova Scotia on January 14th, 1938 she was the daughter of the late Patrick and Emily Linkletter. Marie held multiple jobs and was a jack of all trades. She enjoyed fishing and camping and always loved to hear the fiddle. Marie loved life and was very passionate. Her disease took advantage of her unique personality causing her to make rash claims which left her alienated at times later in life. Dementia took her mind but her heart remained the same. Marie or Maria, depending on how you knew her, is survived by daughters, Sharon (Jim Kennedy) Penyige Blue Mountain, ON, Shelley (Dave Mitchell) Kwik-Mitchell The Philippines; her grandchildren Sarah and Spencer Penyige, Adam Kwik, Rian Mitchell and Dave Mitchell Jr.; two great grandchildren, Adian and Ari Mitchell; brother Billy Linkletter; and sisters Nelly MacLellan, Marguerite Chisholm, Shirley Chisholm, Sadie MacNeil and Mary Burton.
