Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mariea Connell on March 11, 2014, at the age of 77 years. She is lovingly remembered by her husband Patrick of 47 years, daughters Trish (Sean) McGuinness, Marilyn (Kevin), Michelle (Todd) Opatril; grandchildren Devin & Daragh and Megan & Alyson.
Mariea will be greatly missed by her sister Barb (Wayne) Diepold and her brothers George (Toni) Koebel, Leo (Anne) Koebel, John (Googs) Koebel; in-laws, Joan (Doug) McConnell, Jim Connell, Kathleen Brown, Helen (Les) Vik, Peggy Fisher and numerous nieces and nephews.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 11:00 a.m., at Assumption Catholic Church, 9040 - 95 Ave., Edmonton.
The family would like to thank Dr. Chronopoulos and the 9Y unit staff of the General Hospital for their care and compassion, as well as the many who supported Mariea and her family through this difficult time. Being that Mariea was an RN for 39 years (Mis Grad 1958-A), she was more accustomed to being on the other end of the call button, where she served all her patients so well.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the CARITAS Hospital Foundation, Edmonton General, Unit 9Y or to the Alberta Cancer Foundation are appreciated.
