Marilou Lindsay (Long, nee Brooke) passed away peacefully on February 21st, 2023. She is survived by her children, Susan, Patricia and Thomas (Tracy); her grandchildren Michael (Kayla), Chris (Chrissy), Charlie, Andy and Sam; and her great grandchildren Clare, Patrick, Seamus and James; and many dear relatives and friends.
Marilou was born on August 17th, 1936 in Vancouver to Mary (nee Gore) and Gordon Brooke. She excelled at piano from a young age, and both music and dancing were life-long passions. Her high school years at Magee Secondary were among her fondest and she remained actively involved with the school alumni.
She worked at the Land Title Registry at the Provincial Court and with Air Canada, but spent most of her working life with the Richmond School District until retirement at the age of 60. Marilou reconnected with her high school sweetheart, Robert Lindsay, later in life and they married in 2009. Bob and Marilou travelled extensively, and enjoyed countless adventures together until his passing in 2020.
Marilou lived an active life, but began to slow down in the past couple of years. Her humour and free spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to the Salvation Army.
