The family of MARILYN MILDRED VAN LOO (nee Dahl) announces her peaceful passing on Thursday, July 12, 2018. Born in 1928, Marilyn grew up in Standard, Alberta. The Dahl family moved to Drumheller where she met and married Jim Van Loo in 1948. They moved to Lethbridge where Jim established his business, Van's TV, and they built a home and raised their children.

Marilyn was predeceased by her parents Laura Mae and Christian Dahl of Strathmore, and her sisters Beverly Holmes of Victoria, Carolyn Livingstone of Aldergrove BC, and Shirley Williams of Roseburg, Oregon.

Mom is survived by Jim, her lifelong sweetheart and husband of 70 years; her daughter, Melaine (Nicholas Cooney) of Calgary; son Darcy (Lilly) and their daughters Nicolette (Chris Cooke, Kaela and Moriah) of Lethbridge, and Genevieve (Joel Goldberg, Oliver and Murphy) of Calgary; son Randall of Invermere; brother Dennis (Pat) of White Rock; and her nieces and nephews.

Throughout her life Mom blessed us with her many gifts - her faith in the Lord, her belief in prayer, her patience and compassion, and her unwavering love for her family. We give thanks for Mom's life and rejoice that her spirit now lives in Heaven.
