Marilyn (WATERER) Linton
Family:
I have 4 children (Janice, Julie, Greg & Cindy) – all married and amongst them, have produced four granddaughters and six grandsons for me. An awesome group! They’re located in Victoria, Kelowna, Terrace and Winnipeg, providing me with several destinations.
Present Activities:
Activities for the past year have revolved around selling my home and downsizing – a large task I soon discovered. I found a smaller house and lot but as I write, am still awaiting painters, decorators, etc. Hopefully, I’ll be settled by the time you read this??! Leisure time is full with family visits, walking, attempts at fitness, quilting, reading and gardening.
Work Before Retirement:
Work days included a short stint as an R.N. Sixteen years as a stay-at-home Mom, followed by 13 years in Payroll & Personnel at the Vancouver Public Aquarium.
