Marion was born on November 4, 1934, in Brooks. She married Randall Hart and settled in Bow City until moving to Grassy Lake. While in Grassy Lake she curled, taught kindergarten and tap dance lessons in their home. They moved to Taber where she worked in the lab at the Sugar Factory, and Marshall Wells. Randall passed away in 1977, and it was then that she became a teacher’s aide for LT Westlake Kindergarten, where she played the piano and wrote teaching songs for the children in the class. She played for all the concerts in elementary school. She later married Bill Kelly and moved to Peachland, BC, where they enjoyed golfing, good friends, mom’s music and the beautiful view of Lake Okanagan from their balcony.
