MARILYN ELIZABETH ALLISON (nee McMURRAY)

May 15, 2024

Marilyn Elizabeth Allison (nee McMurray) of Emmerton Beach in Huron-Kinloss Township, died May 15, 2024, at the age of 90. Beloved wife of George. Mother of Larry Allison (Brenda) and Leslie Allison (Roger). Cherished grandmother of Jeff Allison (Nicole), Kevin Allison, Haleigh Allison, Toria Allison, Ryan Plant (Anja), and Mack Plant (Kaitlyn); and great-grandmother of Payton Allison, Sonny Plant, and twins Josie and Maya Plant. Loving aunt of Scott Livingston (Jaime), and Brad Livingston. Born in London, Ontario, Marilyn is predeceased by her parents, Ross and Edna (George) McMurray; and sister, Lois Pilon. Marilyn lost her left leg to cancer at the age of 16, but never allowed that to slow her down. She was well-known to sing along to 'Sweet Caroline,' solve crosswords, and socialize with her many friends. She loved her winters in Arizona before permanently moving to the family cottage in Emmerton Beach, and occupied her time bird-watching and tending flowers in her beloved garden where an appropriate memorial will be placed for those who mourn the decades of loving memories she created during her time with us. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation. Private arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Ripley. Condolences on-line at www.mackenzieandmccreath.com.
