Obituary of Marion Muriel Coulton

Marion Muriel Coulton

April 2, 1934 – September 17, 2023

We are celebrating the life of our beloved mother and grandmother Marion Muriel Coulton (nee Schieman). In her 89 years, Marion became a respected and cherished member of the Consort community. 

Born in Saskatchewan and raised on a family farm near Rosenfeld, Manitoba, Marion married William Coulton in 1960. Bill left us in 2017. Together they ran their Consort-area farm where they brought up two children and are survived by, Jean (Tim) and Rob (Cindy); grandchildren: Jeremy (Alex), Garrett (Julianne), Dylon, twins Alexander and Gillian and Megan; two great grandchildren Jackson-Jai and newborn Bodhi; brother Len (Lil) Schieman; as well as seven nieces and nephews.

Marion was predeceased by her parents Alvina and Theophil Schieman; her husband Bill; sister Irma; brother-in-law John and his wife Mary, and sister-in-law Betty.

Marion was a steadfast community volunteer only stepping back in the last year. Her garden, orchard and flowerbeds were well-tended and loved. Travelling – far and near – with Bill and friends gave her joy. So did painting and crafting. Marion was a faithful member of Knox United Church in Consort. We know she would appreciate donations to the Lakeroad Cemetery c/o Town of Consort, Consort, AB T0C 1B0  or Consort Hospital Auxiliary c/o Patricia Wiechnik, Box 276 Consort, AB T0C 1B0.
