It is with heavy hearts we announce that Marilyn Evelyn Foulds (Neal) went to be with the Lord on Monday, March 9, 2020 at the age of 78. Marilyn was born on August 17, 1941 in Port Arthur, Ontario to Alfred and Emily Neal. On Saturday, September 26, 1959, Marilyn married the love of her life, Robert Henry Foulds; the two spending their life together until his passing on July 7, 1998. Marilyn and Robert welcomed their daughter, Kimberly, in 1961, and their son, Jonathan, in 1965. Throughout her life, Marilyn tried her hand at various activities; finding interest in travelling, playing the guitar, sewing, staining glass, and studying genealogy. Amongst all of her hobbies, Marilyn’s true passion was breeding and showing Cairn terriers. Along with breeding and showing, Marilyn became an all-breed dog show judge. Marilyn was an active member of the Lakehead Kennel Club, Cairn Club of Canada, and the Thunder Bay Kennel and Training Club.
