BARNAY, Marylin Eva: 1941- 2024 It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Marylin Eva Barnay, of Penticton on September 28th, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest. Marylin was the heart of our home and family, and a shining light in the community. She was predeceased by her parents Hugh (1992) and Eva Sheere (1996) Cleland. She is survived by her husband John Barnay (m. 1978); two sons John H.C. Barnay (Kristy) and Ian C.C.

Marylin was born in Penticton in 1941 and apart from several years in Vancouver, Toronto, and Oliver, spent most of her life in Penticton, which she loved and called home. She enjoyed being involved in the community and was an integral part. Her favorites being The Okanagan Symphony Society, Penticton Concert Band and St Saviour's Anglican Church (being the granddaughter of St. Saviour's first permanent minister 1907, Rev.
