In Loving Memory
Mrs. Marian Csikar (Reid) of Simcoe. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marian peacefully with family by her side at the Norfolk General Hospital on Sunday, December 23, 2018 in her 95th year. Born in Plainsfield, NJ, she was the first child of Lloyd and Lillian (Cape) Leask. Valedictorian graduate of SCS and business school in Simcoe. She met Bob Reid in the SCS choir and worked in the office of American Can until he returned from serving in the WWII navy. Marian also served as trustee for the Norfolk County School Board. While raising four children on a tobacco farm in Lynedoch, she gardened, canned, sewed family clothes, cooked for harvest gangs, sang in church choirs and for the Treble Clefs. After Bob’s early passing, Marian went on to meet the second love of her life, Leslie Csikar. They enjoyed over 40 years together dancing and travelling on trips to Scotland, Hungary, Cuba, the United States and Canada. In her later years, Les was a loving husband and caregiver.
