Obituary of Marilyn Conrad

Marilyn Carrol Conrad, resident of Dawson Creek and formerly Vancouver, passed away on May 18, 2019 at the age of 76. She was born in Vancouver on August 28, 1942 to William and Mary Meikle, and was the second eldest of four children. Marilyn was a generous and hardworking person, owning and operating multiple business during her life. Marilyn's father owned a sign business in the late 1950s, which inspired Marilyn to start the business Signs & Things after moving to Dawson Creek. She had a wonderful sense of humor and had a love for animals. Marilyn was a quiet person, keeping to herself and loved to garden. She was well read and artistic, especially enjoying drawing and painting. Marilyn's talents were often displayed in the portraits of her grandchildren. Marilyn is fondly remembered by her daughters Pam Messerli (Russ Ramsey) and Leslie Fry; grandchildren Devon Messerli, Samantha McNabb; Lindsay Wellings, and Ian, Colin, and Branden Fry; great-grandchild Audree Wood; brother Pat (Brenda) Meikle, nieces Kasey (Scott) Gorski and Christine Lew, and great-niece and nephew Shaye and Connor Lew.
