SWEET (née Roth): Marlene
It is with the heaviest of hearts that the family of Marlene Margaret Sweet (nee Roth) announces her peaceful passing at the NBRHC on Friday, June 20th, 2025, at the age of 87, surrounded by her loving family.
Predeceased by husband Art (Matt) Scott, Bernard (Barney) Sweet.
Loving and devoted mother to Anne Scott and Nancy Scott (Ric). Caring Grandmother to Emily Potvin.
Predeceased by parents Mervyn and Edith Roth (Berger), brothers William and Robert Roth,
Sisters Edith Burgess (Mace), Marie McGraw (Jim), Beatrice Haldane (Alec), Eunice Beckner (Red), Delores Mitchell (Bud), and Patricia Bailey
Aunt and Great Aunt to many cherished nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.
Marlene followed her calling and graduated from nurse's training at the Stratford Loretto Academy in 1960. A highly regarded and dedicated nurse, she gave her life to the care of others for over 50 years in Stratford, Kitchener, and North Bay. She is always putting the welfare of others before her own. A trait not lost on those blessed enough to cross her path.
Marlene lived her life as a true woman of character, a woman of faith and devotion to church and service. She will be missed by all who she touched.
As a lifelong rescuer of four-legged furry friends, it is only fitting that Marlene's memory can be honoured, if desired, by the North Bay Humane Society.
We will be forever thankful to Dr Locke, Dr Leckie, and the nurses at NBRHC A3/C1 for their care in Mom's final days, treating her with the respect and dignity she deserved. A special thank you to the staff and friends at Barclay House for always going above and beyond. We will miss seeing your welcoming smiles.
As Marlene wished, a graveside service will be held at Avondale Cemetery in Stratford, Ontario, later this year.
"I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me is falling, But he bids me to go; through the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling".
Until we meet again.
xoxo
