Marion Helen Rutter (nee Snell)

June 19, 1945 - December 2, 2017

With sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Marion Helen Rutter (nee Snell) of Hamilton, on Saturday December 2, 2017. Marion was a loving Mother, Sister and Aunt to many more than her immediate family. She leaves behind her sons Mike and Vince Rutter and his wife Maggie, her brother Ken Snell and his wife Margaret, her nieces Allison Litfin and Kathryn Rowse and their respective husbands Mark and Russell, her grand nephew Christopher and her grandchildren Ben, Norah and Oscar. Marion was (and still is) a unique, caring, kind hearted, generous, woman with a heart of gold and a positive attitude to match. She faced many adversities in her life including successfully beating breast cancer this year, all the while with a sunny disposition and an infectious smile. Marion has always been an active church member, spending much of her time with the Hamilton Mennonite Church, and before that, with Welcome Inn Mennonite Church. So giving of her time, smile, and storytelling, she will be forever remembered by so many of all ages in the Hamilton Mennonite community. Marion will be remembered at a ceremony on Wednesday December the 6th at the Hamilton Mennonite Church, 143 Lower Horning Road, Hamilton at 11am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to one of her passions: Hamilton’s Welcome Inn (welcomeinn.ca), MCC’s Restorative Justice work (mcccanada.ca/learn/what/restorative-justice) or to the Hamilton Mennonite Church. http://www.hmc.on.ca/
