Marcia passed away peacefully in New Westminster at the age of 92, surrounded by much of her family.  She was predeceased by her husband, Angus, far too early.  Her brothers Matt and Thomas Ellison have also passed on.
She will be forever missed and loved by her children:  Colin, Sherry(Brad), Bonny, Gavin(Susan), Laurie(Shannon).  Her eight grand children were her greatest source of joy and pride. Marcia also took delight in watching her two young great grandsons. Her nieces and nephews were always a welcome addition to our family.
Marcia was born in Regina, Saskatchewan to May and Alban Ellison. She met Angus Wood while they were both attending medical school at the University of Saskatchewan. They continued their studies at the University of Manitoba where she completed her  degree in anesthesiology.  She practiced at Surrey Memorial Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital. Marcia was a multi-tasking working Mom who always found time for her family. After her 5th child was born she retired from medical practice.
Marcia had a creative flair  and many of our homes are blessed with her handiworks.  She stayed active by walking, swimming and gardening.  The Birch Bay cabin was one of her favorite places to spend time with friends and family.  Her homemade pies were legendary!  Fortunately, she taught her children and grand children to carry on the tradition of home cooked family meals.
She was a gracious hostess right up to the end, welcoming any who came to visit at our family home.
Her eldest son, Colin, was her devoted caregiver whose generous nature allowed her to spend her last years in the comfort of her own home.  We are very grateful for the wonderful care Marcia received from Dr. Peter Wodynski and the compassion and respectful care of the RCH Emergency staff.
