Marion Fuessel

This week we welcome back Marion Fuessel to Word on the Hills. Marion came to Canada as a child. Her immigrant parents were not wealthy but were able to create a comfortable life. It was expected that she would find a stable life, get married and have children. She managed the first two quite quickly but decided to wait before beginning a family. Since she did not have the option of going to College in her younger years, she decided to pay for her own education later in life and became a late bloomer. Her income from office work allowed her to get a College degree and pursue a degree in Montessori. At the same time, she had her three children so it took some time to complete her diploma. She was also influenced by her connection with a Yogi who encouraged her to read the Bible, Koran, Upanishads, Buddhism, etc. in order to educate herself about the various religions. This opened her eyes to a universe that accepts many different beliefs.
