Kenneth Marshall

20 September 1929 - 18 August 2017

Ken was born and grew up on the farm in Linaria, AB.  As a youth he helped with the farm work, logging by horse team and sawmilling.   He enjoyed playing on the local baseball team.  He left the area for B.C. in 1954 where he earned several trade certificates and spent his working years.  He worked as a head sawyer, in construction and maintenance.  He retired in 1989 and moved back to Alberta in 1999.  As an adult he loved hiking/exploring the wilderness, gardening and working with diamond willows.  Family and friends were important to him and he always enjoyed spending time with children.

Ken is survived by two daughters: Marilyn (George) and Kathy (Murray); four grandchildren: Tavin (Natasha), Farrel (Nicole), Kegan and Kendl (Bryan); seven great-grandchildren: Winona, Jayden, Shea, Clover, Olivia, Kaylee and Linden; one sister, Minnie (Basil); three sisters-in-law: Olga, Alice and Gladys.
