It is with great sadness that the family of Marilyn Kathleen Macht announces her sudden passing on Thursday April 5, 2012 at the young age of 53.

Marilyn was born in Coaldale, Alberta on May 8, 1959 to Peter and Johanna Macht. Marilyn is survived by her loving parents and as well she leaves behind her loving brother Hans Guenther Macht (Ursula) with nephews Jeremy and Jonathan (Amy) and loving sister Lorrie Kastner (Darryl) with nephews Braeden and Matthew.

Born and raised in Coaldale, Marilyn attended St Joseph's School and Kate Andrews High School. She pursued her post-secondary education at the University of Lethbridge all the while working for Customs Canada. Upon her completion of her degree in Business Management, Marilyn was employed with Revenue Canada in Calgary as an accountant for 30 plus years where she held her career in high regard until her passing.

Marilyn lived her life for her family. Her four nephews were the center of her attention. She attended every hockey, baseball and football game that she could. Any opportunity she had to travel and take one of them along, she did. Marilyn gave everything of herself and continuously put everyone else first.

She was the calming, sensible and most caring support within our family. Her independent nature made her who she was. Marilyn will be dearly remembered as a loving daughter, sister, auntie and good friend to the many who knew her. She has left a huge void in our hearts and will be forever missed. As you took such good care of all of us, Marilyn, we now leave you in God's hands.
