Rae Symington of Edmonton, Alberta, passed away peacefully on July 26, 2025, at the age of 72.
Born in Edmonton on July 3, 1953, Rae was the only child of Garnet and Nancy Symington. She spent much of her life fostering children and working in community services, supporting youth and people with disabilities.
Rae was a talented cross-stitcher, an avid reader of romance and mystery novels, and loved tackling crossword puzzles.
She is lovingly remembered by her children, Erin (Pete) and Scott (Justine); her grandchildren Emilie, Isaac, Sarah, Matthew, Nathan, and Jordana; as well as her husband Jim Marusiak; her stepchildren Lisa, Bev (David), and James (Megan); grandchildren Austin (Larissa), Madi, Kara, and Drew; and great-granddaughter Kylie.
The family extends their sincere thanks to the staff at the Good Samaritan Society CHOICE Program for the care and companionship Rae deeply appreciated, and to the medical professionals at Misericordia Community Hospital for their compassion in her final days.
Honouring Rae’s wishes, no service will be held.
