[Obituary]
Marion Leafe Wells, 86, Massena.
Marion Leafe Wells passed away Thursday. A lifelong resident of Massena and graduate of Canton ATC, Marion was a member of Alpha Chi Omicron Sorority and was employed by Massena Memorial Hospital. Later in life, she moved to Liverpool to be near her family.
She had a passion for making crafts especially Teddy Bears. An avid reader, Marion enjoyed her children and rock garden. Her favorite sayings were, "don't forget to stop and smell the roses" and "no one ever promised you a rose garden." Marion was a special friend and beloved family member, whose affectionate smile and quick wit will be terribly missed.
She was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Preston E. Wells in 2006. Marion is survived by her children, David Wells of Manchester, NH, Susan (Jerry) Calhoun of Arlington, VA, and Jane (George) Tartick of Liverpool; her precious grandchildren, Nathan, Everett, Eric, Emily, and Adam; one great-grandchild, Liam, who was her treasure.
Memorial services will be conducted Tuesday 11 a.m. at Phillips Memorial Home in Massena. Burial will be in Hale Cemetery in Norfolk. Arrangements are under the direction of the Phillips Memorial Home in Massena.
