  Obituary	Aft 2 Nov 2008
  It is with great sorrow that the family of Mariella Small announces her passing on November 2, 2008, after many years of poor health. Mariella was born in Kaukauna, Wisconsin to John and Katherine Verboort on May 23, 1921. She grew up and went to school in Kaukauna and Green Bay, Wisconsin. She later met and married Norman Small who was working for Great Lakes Paper at the time, and they moved to Fort William to begin their lives together. In her early years (50's) she sold Raleigh Products throughout the rural areas and loved travelling around the outlying areas and meeting people. She was a great conversationalist and loved talking to people. She later worked as a short-order cook at the Blue Swan Inn and Two Cities Motel. Mariella worked for many years at the Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital as a Residential Counselor an enjoyed her work very much until ill health led to an early retirement. In her younger days, Mariella loved to dabble in the real estate market, buying and selling older homes. She was a hard worker and was in her glory when she was tearing houses apart, cleaning, painting, wallpapering and sanding. She loved going to open houses to see where the bargains were and as she always said, "to keep up with the market". She used to love to go to the Herb Carroll Centre, 55 Plus Centre to play crib and other senior activities with her friends. Due to a stroke, she became hospitalized and spent seven years in Dawson Court Nursing Home. Thank you to all who visited her through the years and made her long days a little happier. She will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren and her friends. She was a very kind and warm hearted mother and grandmother. She is survived by her children: Eric (Loy), Sheryl Cole, Iona (Warrren) Johnston, and Brian (Laurie); grandchildren: Kim Cole, Gregory Cole, Sloan, Wesley and Sasha Small, McKenzie, Lauren, and Dillon Small; and great grandson Dustin Uhlman. She is survived by sisters Cordell Bowers and Amoretta Kortz along with numerous nephews and nieces in and around Kaukauna. She was predeceased by her husband Norman, sister and brother-in-law Alvina and Albert (Curly) Jahnke, brother-in-law Omer (Cordell) Bowers, and brother-in-law Clifford Koertz. A special thank you to the staff of Dawson Court, 2 South, to Dr. Kroll and Dr. Dodick for the special care she received throughout the years. Funeral services for the late Mariella Small will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at the Westfort Chapel, 420 West Gore Street at James with Mr. David Alander from the Jehovah's Witnesses officiating. If friends so desire memorial donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
