A Tribute to Marlene Bertrand

On August 1, 2017, Marlene, my sister-in-law, unexpectedly passing away.


Marlene will be sorely missed by her family, Arthur, husband of 55 years, Celine Berry, daughter, and her family; Darin, son and his family; her many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, friends and of course her musical family on Vancouver Island.


A beautiful send off for Marlene was held Friday August 11 in Victoria, BC, at a funeral Mass at St. Patrick's and reception at Celine and Brain Berry's home.


Her family contributed to the ceremony.


 At the tribute reception many of her musical friends play a selection of her favourite tunes.




 The Apple Tree Jam was recorded and posted by Studio eh Design.
