elevated FA4QE Obituary
elevated FA4QE HUBERT, Marion Marianna (née Perrone)
On the afternoon of October 17, 2026, with a brilliant blue sky above and surrounded by family, Marion Marianna Hubert passed away peacefully in hospital after a brief illness.
elevated FA4QE Marion, along with her cherished husband of 54 years, Bertram [d. 2009], raised five children – Rita, Laura, Rosanne, Paul, Martin – and delighted in her eight grandchildren – Scott, Kathleen, Michael, Matthew, Lucas, Rebecca, Sarah, Hannah – and four great grandchildren- Amelia, Joshua, Zoey, Logan.
elevated FA4QE Marion was a woman of many talents, both traditional and modern. She and her beloved younger brother, Peter [d. 2024], grew up at Clinton and College and returned there often to enjoy lunch and each other’s company. Growing up in Little Italy, Marion learned to sew and make hats, went swimming at Sunnyside, shared penny candy and secrets with her best friend, Marie, helped her Aunt Lena and Uncle Frank at their popular sandwich shop,and worked at the Woolworth’s candy counter.
elevated FA4QE An avid reader and art lover, Marion excelled in school. Although she dreamed of attending Harbord Collegiate, she, like so many girls of that time, attended technical school, where she mastered secretarial skills so thoroughly that IBM had to engineer the Type Ball to keep up with her typing prowess. She applied those skills at Fraser & Beatty at the top of First Canadian Place. Earlier in her career, while working at the Weston Bakery on Dupont, she regularly brought home Napoleons for her children and sparked a lifelong friendship with Pat.
elevated FA4QE Marion worked full-time while managing her busy, growing, multigenerational household. Friends and family were always welcome at the first or second dinner seating, which usually included homemade pasta sauce, her famous baseball-sized meatballs, and roast beef. She learned to cook from her mom, Rose; how to box the exactor from her dad, Eddie; and how to pretend to like bowling by falling in love with Bert.
elevated FA4QE She was the keeper of family history and remained close to and proud of all her relatives across Canada and the U.S., especially her many nieces and nephews. She served her family and the church with the same loving heart, exemplifying kindness, charity, and grace.
elevated FA4QE Her life was a beautiful reflection of her enduring faith in God and a legacy of unconditional love and devotion to family.
elevated FA4QE In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations in Marion’s memory to a charity of your choice.
Jesus, I trust in you.
What a beautiful woman, what a beautiful life. May she rest in eternal peace. Sincere condolences to the entire family. Martin, you clearly inherited all of her wonderful traits. Sending love and sympathy to you and Daniela during this difficult time.
My aunt Marion always called me on my birthday and sang Happy birthday to me ❤️ she had a beautiful voice beautiful smile and beautiful loving heart. Romans 8:18 “The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the joy/glory that will be revealed.” Our thoughts are with your family ❤️
Great childhood memories of the entire Hubert Family
Love from The Elcome Family xoxo
I was a relative late comer to Marion’s circle, arriving via marriage to her delightful niece, but soon fell under her special spell. She was a lovely lady who made me feel welcome and loved from the first minute we were introduced, and continued to do so throughout her life. May she rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
Dear Laura,
I will always remember your Mom as one of the kindest, warmest, and most loving people I have ever known.
When you and I were university students, she welcomed me with such genuine affection and acceptance that she left a lasting impression on my heart. I still smile when I think of her little poems, especially “Our Midnight Caller,” inspired by my late-night phone calls to you when you were living at home, or “There Have Been Popes Named Gregory”.
Those small, thoughtful gestures captured so beautifully her wonderful sense of humour and the joy she brought to others. Your Mom had a rare gift for making people feel loved and accepted. Her generous spirit, joyful nature, and deep faith were woven into everything she did. She was truly a beautiful soul, and I feel privileged to have known her.
I hope you find comfort in knowing that your Mom’s love and kindness reached far beyond her own family, touching the lives of so many fortunate enough to have known her. Her memory will always hold a special place in my heart.
With heartfelt sympathy, prayers and love…
My prayers go out to Rita, Paul, Roseanne, Laura and Martin, her Grandchildren and all of us who loved her. She was my older sister from a different Mom. Aunt Rose and my Dad were brother and sister who loved each other for life. From the time I was born (Aunt Rose was there) Marion has been a huge part of my life. Both her and Bert, the love of each other’s life, were a large part of my life growing up. I will miss her council terribly. Each time we talked we always said before goodbye..Love you.
Heartfelt condolences to the Hubert family. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
My memory of Marion is she always had a beautiful smile while she was bragging about her children and grandchildren. When we went to the horses races her face just glowed with happiness. My condolences to you all. She was so loved. God bless her.
Ciao Martin e Daniela vi siamo vicini in questo triste momento 😔sentite condoglianze a voi e tutta la famiglia ❤️da Sandra e Tommaso dall’ Italia. Un abbraccio forte 🙏
