Marion Norma (Kardynal) Milette

Mrs. Marion Milette (nee Kardynal) of Saskatoon, formerly of Preeceville, wife of the Late Louis Milette, passed away on Friday, February 27, 2026. She was 92 years of age.

Marion was born on February 17, 1934 to Steve and Polly (Stasiuk) Kardynal. She married Louis Milette on January 22, 1955. They made their home in the Preeceville district, eventually moving into town. They were blessed with 5 children, Cindy, Stephen, Paula, Melissa and Michael.

The majority of her married life was spent as a home maker. She was a devoted member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Sturgis and a member of the CWL. In her spare time, she could be found knitting or quilting, and always watching her beloved Blue Jays games on TV. Nothing brought her greater joy then when grandchildren and then great grandchildren started arriving.

Marion was predeceased by her father Steve Kardynal, and mother Polly Kardynal, her husband Louis Milette, her brother Doug Kardynal, son-in-law Larry Myden, and son-in-law John Hnatuk.
