Beth Marles

Beth Pearson Marles passed away November 21, 2020 at the age of 94. She will be lovingly remembered by her children – daughter Janice Marles Mylett of Fairfield, Iowa and son Alan James Marles of Calgary. She was predeceased by her husband Jack Alfred Marles; parents James and Clydia Pearson; siblings Ken Pearson, Cleo Bilton, Ethel Weir, Lois Winters and Reece Pearson. Beth was born in Calgary and grew up on a farm just outside of the city. She enjoyed growing up on the farm and spending time following her father fixing things which she continued to do throughout her life. Beth attended high school in Calgary and went on to complete her Registered Nurse training in Kamloops, British Columbia. Her nursing career occurred both at the Calgary Holy Cross hospital and as a lecturer for the Canadian Cancer Society. Beth was an active partner with her husband Jack in their business and in Dale Carnegie training programs. Her life mission and passion right up to her last days was the love and support to her children, Janice and Alan; as well as the larger Pearson and Marles family network. Beth maintained a keen interest in local and world events that she shared with others. She had a great sense of humour and a laugh that would melt anyones heart. Beth is greatly missed by family and friends.
