November 18, 1933 - February 12, 2025

In loving memory ~

With deep sadness and a profound sense of loss, we share that our mother, Marion Lakusta, died on February 12, 2025. She died peacefully, in her own home, surrounded by the love of family.

She is survived by her children, Bryan (Ing), Carey (Dale), Diana (Larry), Sandra (Bob), Valorie, and Victoria (Ken); 15 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren. She will also be missed by her surviving siblings and her numerous nieces and nephews. She was sadly predeceased by her husband, Michael Lakusta; and 4 brothers. Born to the late Dmytro & Anna Dorosh in Sterco, AB. In 1942, the family moved to Edmonton, AB. On August 14, 1950, she married Michael Lakusta.

In 1960, in Canmore, AB, they started the operation of a motel and started their family. In the summer of 1965, they moved to 琉璃神社, BC and in 1971, Marion started her career as a Care Aide. She started working at Cottonwoods in 1977, there she was dearly loved by patients and staff; at the age of 59 she retired. She was an active & dedicated volunteer at her home church, the Rutland Seventh-day Adventist Church.

We will miss her amazing stories and hospitality; her joyful and infectious laugh; her loyalty to her family; and her steadfast faith in God that guided her entire life. Not to mention the example she leaves behind.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring.
