Obituary of Angele Marie Marin

Angele Marie Marin (Compagna) 1936 – 2014 Angele passed away peacefully at Battlefords Union Hospital on January 1st, 2014, at the age of 77. Angele was born on May 15, 1936 in Cold Lake, AB to Omer and Bernadette Compagna, along with 7 siblings. Angele met the love of her life, best friend and soul mate, Louis Marin and they married in Leoville on October 29, 1960. Angele and Louis had a remarkable loving marriage and were blessed to celebrate 53 amazing years together. They were inseparable and leaned on each other in times of joy and sorrow through life’s journeys. They worked hand in hand farming, beekeeping and becoming foster parents. The family they always dreamt of having became complete in 1976 after having 5 girls and one boy, Sandra, Colette, Claudette, Suzanne, Roxanne and Vince. Angele often said, “I love you all the same.” Angele enjoyed having children around her, her own and anyone else’s. Her grandchildren were the sparkle of her eye, as well as having a special spot in her heart for her nieces, nephews and her friends. Her door was always open and coffee was always on. Angele was also often heard saying, “Drop in anytime you’re always welcome.” Angele was an exceptional cook and loved to have company. If company arrived unexpectedly she was fond of saying, “We can always add more water to the soup,” there was always plenty for everyone. Many fond memories will be remembered of the jam sessions with friends and family and all their instruments. Angele loved to sing and knew many songs by heart. It was a true passion and her favorite past-time. Family, friends and home were her life, she was a true homemaker. Angele again, was known to say, “Home is where the heart is.” Angele had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. Her faith in God was strong and she believed in his guidance. Angele meant so much to everyone because she was someone you could laugh with, work alongside, and could confide in, everyone knew their secret was safe with her. Always so loving, gentle kind and compassionate, touching the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She will be dearly missed.
