Born on June 11, 1927 on Big Tancook Island, Marion was the daughter of the late Thomas and Gertrude (Cook) Mason. Her family moved from Big Tancook Island to live in Montreal from 1939 until 1943, when, before she turned 16, Marion spent a few months working at Murphy's Sewing Factory. She then worked at Government House, until Lt. Governor Kendall and his family moved to Windsor, where she worked for them from 1948 to 1950. Marion was an Avon representative for a year in 1964, worked as summer relief at Scotia Nursing Home, and worked at Crossley Karastan Carpets in Truro from 1974 to 1982. She loved to cook for people.
