Obituary of Velma Marcon

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my dear wife, Velma Marcon, on June 9, 2024, after a long and brave struggle with brain cancer.

Born on Christmas Day 1955 to James and Rose Zambunis, Velma grew up in a loving and happy environment. She enjoyed a long and successful career with Hiram Walker, Allied Domecq and Shaw Ross/Southern Glazers in the United States.

Married to Mark Marcon for 29 years and loved and respected by my many relatives in the Naccarato, Todesco and Cocchetto families.

Extra special thanks to my loving cousin Renee Santarossa and her daily support.

Velma had a very special and most loving relationship with her godchild Anne Marie Aubry, Anne Marie’s husband Charlie and Anne Marie’s father Dennis Grubka. Velma’s sister in spirit, Erica Sheppard and her partner Doug Anderson greatly supported her during her long and difficult journey.

No words can ever express my thanks to Rafael and Elizabetta Turchi and their family for their tremendous support and love during Velma’s very difficult journey. Very much loved and supported by her cousin Gona Stefanovski and family and her cousin Irene Ditouris and family. The love and support shown by Velma’s cousins was wonderful.

Velma and I were inseparable and shared an intense love and deep devotion to each other, and to our cats, Mickey, Tiger and Little Grey.

Velma was my wife and my life.
