LAUR, Marlene Jean – It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Marlene Laur, a beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished friend, who left us peacefully. Marlene passed away on November 29, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and kindness. Beloved mother of Craig and his wife Christine. Cherished grandmother of Alexys (Jacob) and Max (Abby). Dear sister of Donnie, Pat, Shirley and Doug. Survived by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Samuel and Grace (nee Allison) Henderson and her brother Jim Henderson Sr. Marlene was a devoted mother to her son, Craig, and a doting grandmother whose life revolved around her family. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her grandchildren, whom she adored. Marlene’s love for her family was the foundation of her life, and she will always be remembered for her unwavering devotion to them.
A long-time, dedicated employee of Jim’s Carpet Warehouse in Brigden, Marlene spent many years working diligently, and her commitment and work ethic earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues. Marlene’s kindness, warmth, and generosity will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and everyone who was fortunate enough to experience her love.
A private family service will be held in her honor at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca) Marlene’s memory.
May she rest in peace, and may her family find comfort in the love she so freely gave.
My condolences to you Craig, Christine and your entire family! May she rest in peace.
Such fond memories of such a wonderful woman just came flooding back to me when I seen this picture….exactly as I remember her. She taught me more than I ever wanted to know about flooring. And I’m still in the business. To Craig and family, my deepest condolences, may she rest in paradise.
Rest in peace Marlene from your cousins in Blenheim

I first met Marlene when she worked for the doctors Sidenberg. She was always friendly and fun. My sympathy to all her family.
Marlene was not only my boss in a way, she was also a very dear friend! Mar or Marsey,(as everyone called her) was an exceptional lady! She was a very stern boss and a very good friend at the same time! I considered Mar a very dear friend, and she had so so many! As soon as Mar answered the phone at Jim’s you knew Immediately with whom you were talking with. When you came to work, if you needed a band-aid, a aspirin, a phone number,anything….Mar was there! I will miss Mar dearly. She was a very special lady, a one of a kind lady! I worked with Marsey for approx 25 years or more! I will never ever forget you Marsey…..you were and are very special to me!!! My heartfelt condolences to Craiger,his family and as well the Henderson family!!! we lost a very special Lady!!
Caig and family, deepest condolences in the loss of your Mother/Grandmother.
