Marion Isobel Livingston was born on November 3,1930, in Prescott to Jean and Frank Henry. Growing up, she worked in her grandmother's restaurant in Prescott and enjoyed the many trips they took together. She attended Prescott Public High School and graduated from Ogdensburg Business School in 1948. Upon graduation, she worked for McCadam Cheese company in Ogdensburg, taking the ferry to work. Marion worked as a secretary and a product representative until her marriage in October 1953.

Marion married Leonard Ray Livingston on October 17, 1953, in Prescott at the United Church of Canada. They made their home on Leonard's farm on the Love Joy Road in Ogdensburg for 10 years. A fire forced them to relocate to Lisbon in October 1963 where they continued to farm until they retired.

In December 2019, she moved to the United Helpers Assisted Living Facility in Canton. Marion is a member of the Lisbon Reformed Presbyterian Church. Marion enjoyed traveling with her husband and visiting her adult children. Marion always put family first. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother & great grandmother who will be dearly missed.
