Resident Spotlight - Marion Last

This week’s resident spotlight is a lady who always has a smile on her face and a friendly word for everyone.  She has a fantastic sense of humour and never fails to make me laugh.  Marion Last (better known as Mare) is a wonderful friend, partner, Mother and Grandmother!  I hope you enjoy her spotlight.

How long have you lived in Gold River?

I have lived in Gold River for 25 years.

What brought you here?

I was looking for a quiet, safe place to bring up my children and I had family here so here we are..

What do you do for (paid) work?

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner

Please tell us about any volunteer work you do.

I always volunteer for Health Fairs to allow people to get to know more about holistic health.

Please tell us a bit about your family.

My partner, Alex, is self employed.   He owns and runs AJG Construction. I have 2 children, Adrian 29 and Miranda 27. They both have given me 2 beautiful grandchildren each, Riley, Van, Kodi and Teegan.

Do you have any pets?

I have no pets but you will see me walking my Daughter’s English Mastiff every day.  I love him but am allergic to animals so that is as close as I will get.

What do you like to do for fun?

Well I am pretty engrossed in my work right now – always learning, but when I am not doing that I usually am singing and playing music with Alex.  I love that.

What do you wish Gold River had that is doesn’t?

Well I would like Gold River to have more support groups for people suffering from mild depression and an energy plant..ha ha..

Is there anything missing for you?

Money…I am missing money. If you have any extra laying around I would gladly take it from you.

And just for fun – if you were invisible, where would you go/what would you do?

If I were invisible I would sneak on board a plane to Mexico. What would I do?  Have the time of my life of course!

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

I will be going to work down in Oyster River at the Ocean Resort in mid February. I will be starting up a new Healing Arts Centre on the property that used to be Gourmet By The Sea.   I am looking forward to this new endeavor and hope some of my clients will be able to come see me there as well.  I will also be working here in Gold River a couple days a week.

I would like to thank the people of Gold River for making it a safe and pleasant place to bring up my children and for giving me the chance to start my business here.  Gold River is definitely a wonderful place to be.  I  will always be grateful.

Thank you GR Girl for this opportunity.  You are an asset to Gold River.

Thanks for being my Resident Spotlight this week Mare.  Good luck on your new adventures in Oyster River!
