Obituary of Marilyn Donna Olga Cramsie

Marilyn Donna Olga Wolter Cramsie passed away on February 27, 2026, surrounded by the loving family and friends who meant the world to her. She rejoins her beloved husband, John, who predeceased her.

Loving, funny, and independent, Marilyn lived life exactly the way she wanted. Her greatest pride was her large and ever-growing family — especially her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy (and probably a little mischief). She is survived by daughter Lyn, son Alec, six grandchildren: Johnny, Randy, Brian, Eric, Ceilidh, and Alexandra, her great-grandchildren, and extended family.

In true Marilyn fashion, she wrote her own farewell:

Marilyn Donna Olga Wolter Cramsie died February 27, 2026, surrounded by her loving family and friends, to whom I told to have a party, not a wake.

Here’s to ya!

Love, Marilyn

A celebration of her life will be held in the summer of 2026 — because if we’re going to have a party, it might as well be warm. In lieu of flowers, Marilyn asked that donations be made to a charity of your choice.
