Peacefully at her residence in Blacks Harbour NB on December 13, 2022 with her family at her side, Marlene Shirley Justason went home to be with her Lord. Born in Blacks Harbour NB on May 9, 1935, she was a daughter of the late Basil and Della (Leavitt) Justason. A loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marlene is survived by two sons: Brian Justason of Saint John NB and Stuart Justason (Susan Lint) of Fredericton NB; her daughters: Jocelyn Bradford of St. George NB, Heather (George) Bradford of Back Bay NB; Sandra (Paul) Belliveau of Blacks Harbour NB and Loretta (Scott) Galpin of Springhill NS; 17 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and many cousins.

Marlene was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Prior to retirement, Marlene worked for Connor's Brothers as a packer and later as a janitor in the packing room. She loved knitting and reading when she was able and enjoyed going for drives and watching her game shows on TV. Marlene really enjoyed playing board games with family and friends, especially dominos, but her most precious time was time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Marlene was a faithful and devoted member of the Pentecostal Lighthouse Church in Blacks Harbour, a church and church family she enjoyed attending and she truly loved serving her Lord.
