Husband, Father, Grandpa and Great Grandpa


It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mike Marsland, who passed away peacefully in the early morning Thursday March 29, 2007 at the Miramichi Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer.

His life and memory will continue to be celebrated by his large and loving family and his friends; his best friend and wife of 53 years, Ruth; daughters Kathleen (Ron) and Kimberly (Larry); sons, Andrew (Loraine), Scott (Heather) and Robert. Sixteen grandchildren and one great grandchild will also miss him. He will be reunited with his daughters Patricia and Debra.

“China Mike” as he was known to many of his friends in Kingston, was retired from Correctional Services and had worked for many years at Kingston and Millhaven Penitentiaries. He retired from Renous Penitentiary in 1995. He was past president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 9 in Kingston, Ontario and was an active member of the Lion’s Club and Royal Canadian Legion Branch #10 in Miramichi.

At Mike’s request, there will be no visitation. The memorial service will be celebrated at Northumberland Funeral Home Chapel at 10am on Saturday March 31, 2007. A reception will follow at the Lion’s Den in Miramichi. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
