I was so sad to hear this news. I only met Marion recently and she welcomed me into her gorgeous home and we talked about Inner city living 🌻 She shared some great memories and I thought how lucky we were to have such a lovely, caring and wise person in our community 😔

I met Marion at Probus social outings and loved chatting to her. She shared with me her love of a book about Edward Lear and at her recommendation, I bought it and also greatly enjoyed it. Marian was always a cheery delightful person and I enjoyed her company. I will miss her when I go out with Probus members.

ICW is sad to hear of the recent death of Marion Kiddle, a long-time member and supporter of ICW. Marion was a regular attendee of ICW meetings, along with her husband Roger when he was alive. Marion and Roger were among the original members when ICW was first established. Condolences to Marion’s family.

I would like the family to know that I share the deep sorrow they must be feeling at the time of Marion’s passing.
I first met Marion over 50 years ago when we were both in a Khandallah Arts Theatre production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” in which she played Olivia and I played Feste. We haven’t seen each other since then until last year I sat beside her at the NZSO’s first 2025 season concert when she turned to me in a surprised voice said my name. In all the concerts we have enjoyed together since then we have talked about our lives since and our love of the arts. It also transpired that we only lived a block away from each other in the center of Wellington so we visited each other’s places to see our individual collections. I was worried her seat next to me was empty at the last two concerts and am sad I will no longer be having those supportive, cultured conversations with such a erudite, lovely person.
