Marcie Ellen Stigen, 57

Marcie Ellen Stigen, age 57, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 26, 2007 at the Rainy River Hospital in Rainy River, Ontario.
Marcie was born on October 1, 1949 to Jack and Elvina Drennan. She was raised in the Rainy River area living on Wilson Creek most of her life. As a young woman she worked at Hanson’s Camp. She was married to Roy Stigen in 1967 and together they raised their four children Shirley, Sheila, Roy and Stephanie. Marcie started a new chapter in her life with Vernon Brown in the late 1980’s and together they had two children Tyler and Stacy. In 2000, at the age of 51, Marcie graduated from High School. Her family was very proud of her accomplishment. She loved the outdoors; fishing, gardening, watching the wildlife and going on her annual moose hunt. Marcie enjoyed visiting with her family and friends, the coffee was always on and the door always open. She was very proud of her large teapot collection and could tell you which one came from where or whom. One of Marcie’s favourite pastimes was going to the "mall". She found many treasures that were lovingly restored.
She is survived by her children Shirley and fiancé Wayne Reid of Prescott, ON, Sheila and husband Colin Brown of Nestor Falls, ON, Bud Stigen of Thunder Bay, ON, Stephanie Stigen (Scott Fisher) of Regina, SK; grandchildren Clint and Samantha Brown, Vanessa Markell, Catherine Stigen and Harmon Reid; brothers Gordon, Melvin (Bev) and Richard Drennan; sister Mary and husband Jerry Gignac; aunt Mildred Roadhouse; uncles Arvid and Richard Hendrickson and numerous nieces and nephews.
