Marlene Christina Paton (aged 75) sadly passed away at Accord Hospice on Monday 13th April 2009.
She had a long battle with many illnesses and passed away peacefully whilst sleeping.
A wonderful, kind, caring and beautiful person. Marlene touched the lives of so many people and was
an inspiration and example to us all. She worked hard, loved long and accepted all.
Marlene was an amazing mother to Colin, Stephen, Callum, Ronald and Stuart who she loved dearly and
was greatly proud of each of them. She had a big heart and a big family. She was a loving
grandmother to David, Johanne, Stephanie, Jennifer, Kim, Bethan, Daniel, Michael, Marlon,
Lynda-Anne, Jacquie and Simon. Also, a great-grandmother to Dylin, Kyle, Jae, Callum and Izzy.
Marlene worked as a nurse for most of her life and took great pride in her job. She loved and cared
for the elderly and always stood up for those less able. She a was a fair and noble person who
disliked injustices. She met the love of her life and father of her children, Iain whilst working.
She was a very traditional woman who loved and lost only one man in her life. Iain sadly passed
away in April 1981 and patiently waited years for her. She is finally back in his arms forever.
Marlene travelled the world where she experienced some of her happiest times. She was nicknamed
‘queen of the markets’ for her love of bargaining with the traders. Although, if you knew her
she probably just liked being referred to as the queen she was!
Marlene was always there for her friends and family. To love, guide and support them. She was the
kind of person you could talk to about anything and she would never judge you or be shocked at what
you said. Marlene was a happy person who smiled a lot. Just being with her made you feel the
same.
Marlene; my gran. If you knew her, you loved her. I am forever grateful that she let me share her
life with her. I am proud to call her my gran and blessed to have been able to call her my friend.
I cannot thank her enough for all the love, support and advice over the years, I am eternally
grateful. Gran was extremely proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and I
only hope we continue to make her proud.
I will cherish the treasured memories of my gran forever. She lives on in our hearts and I will
smile just when I think of her. For all the times she stood by me, the joy she brought to my life
and the laughs we had (spider talk, Indian food, spider eating).
My gran; my friend – if you knew her then you loved her. Forever in our hearts xxx
Happy Mothers Day Mom !!
Mom, you were so wonderful
So gentle and so strong
The many ways you showed you cared
Always made me feel i belong
Always patient when i was foolish
Always gave guidance when i asked
It seems you done almost everything
The master of every task
You were my dependable source of comfort
My cushion when i fell
You helped in times of trouble
And supported me when i yelled
I love you more than you know
You have my total respect
Cant wait to see you again
In that land we,ve got to see yet.
Happy Mothers Day Mam !!
Today is a tough one Marlene, our first Mothers Day without you here with us, will be thinking of you and all you stood for today and everyday and wanted to let you know how very grateful i am to have had you in our lives, thankyou for everything xxx
Miss you so much x
Sometimes I come here and it's just nice to see your face, then I remember the day I that its a photograph on when you were here with us. I miss you so much Gran and so wish we had more time together. I am so scared I will forget you because it has been so long since I last heard your voice or spent time wih you - yet I know you will live on in my memories and in my heart forever. I just miss you. I got so upset the other day making pakora because I knew I should have been phoning you to ask how to make it properly, just one of the many things I miss about you.
Love and miss you so much, today and always xxx

Miss you each and every day Gran and think about you so very often. I love you. Feels like I have too much spare time on my hands now, time I used to spend with you...Sleep tight xxx
Sleep tight
Loss is life,s non negotiable side, it is the time when we learn "unconditionally" that we are powerless over things we thought we had a grip on.
I,ll never forget you and the joy you tried to bring to everyone,s life
