Mr. Fix It will always be remembered for the kind, loving & inspirational person he was. Our hearts will be filled with love whenever we think of him. Thoughts of Bob will always bring a smile to the faces of everyone lucky enough to have him be part of their lives.  He spent 25 years working at bubbles, then Best Western for a few months when he finally came across his calling. Working with the Sturgeon Foundation in Gibbons where he loved not only his job but also his co-workers and the residence. He and his wife Barb operated a DJ/Karaoke company Karokonuts for the last 25 years where Bob shared his voice that sounded like an angel with many.

Rest in Peace Bob now your hard painful fight is over, well ours to go on without you is just beginning. You will forever be in our hearts.

Marilyn Myrna Otterson (nee Lapierre)

March 4, 1958 – April 17, 2017

Survived by her husband, Myron; children, Chris (Tammy), Kevin, Melissa (Jason), Curtis (Nicole), Jesse; grandchildren, Cecily, Alexandra, Cora-Lee, Sonya, Justin, Tristan, Cassandra, Korbin, Kiersten, Dominic, and Mystique. Her step-father, Bill; mother in-law, Grace; siblings, Carolyne, Debbie (Murray), Rick (Laurel), Kimberlee (Robert), Dan (Marti), Steve (Dianne) and Chuck; her in-laws, Gloria, Helen (Lorne), Dale; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews and extended family. 

Predeceased by her mother, Kathryn (nee Hustis); father, Maynard; father in-law, Lloyd; and brother in-laws, Bruce and Bob.

Marilyn was so many things to so many people, but her favourite things were family, travel, country concerts and of course Tim Horton’s. Her sister and best friend Debbie was there by her side for it all and they were an unstoppable team. She was always on the go, whether it was off to appointments, flying out to Ontario or BC, jumping into the car with Myron for a weekend visit to Saskatchewan to see their kids, a play, a blues festival, or a Garth Brooks concert, whatever the reason it was always done with a  Timmies in her hand.

Marilyn and Myron rarely missed a family Reunion. Marilyn thrived on large family gatherings, always making sure to include everyone and always making enough food to feed an army. She had the    amazing ability of remembering everyone, their histories, and a great story to go with it. She had unyielding patience and understanding and would sit and listen on the phone for hours, day or night, if someone needed to talk.

Marilyn was an avid country concert goer and also loved the casino, playing cards, camping, fishing and just being out in her yard with her flowers and Myron. But above all Family was everything to her.
