Passed away with her family by her side on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at WRHN at Midtown, Kitchener.

Survived by her loving husband, Helmut Splettstoesser. Her daughter Debbie Chamberlain. Her daughter-in-law, Krisztina Thoroughgood.  Marion will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Becky Renaud, Trista Renaud, Raquel Sutherland, Helmut Splettstoesser Jr., Jessica Splettstoesser, and her fourteen great-grandchildren. Lovingly remembered by her nephews, David and Scott Durst and her niece, Caryl Durst.

Predeceased by her son, Helmut Splettstoesser Jr., her parents, Lorne and Ada Durst and her brothers Earl and Ronald Durst.

Marion helped so many people buy houses and finance their homes. She was a very successful mortgage broker and business owner, and she was highly respected in her industry. She was deeply loved and will be missed terribly by her grieving husband, Helmut. Marion enjoyed life to the fullest and was such a fun person to be around. She loved animals and gardening. She was also an amazing cook and host; no one ever left her house hungry. She was also known to be very lucky at the casino. Marion’s favourite drink was brandy; she loved reading a good book in bed with a brandy in hand. Miss. Marion will be deeply missed by all.

Special Thanks to Susan Cunningham, her friend and trusted secretary. And to all her other devoted friends.
