SAYLE, Marelle Irene
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Marelle Irene Sayle on September the 18th, 2024 after 70 remarkable years. A much-loved Mother to Lincoln and Michael, Grandmum to Lucy, Sister to Craig, Auntie, and friend to many. Marelle touched the lives of all who knew her with her kindness and grace.
She was a beautiful soul who brought joy and warmth to every gathering, leaving us with cherished memories and countless good times.
To her many treasured friends, thank you for being a part of her life, your love and support meant the world to her.
Though she is now at peace with Jesus, her memory will live on in our hearts. We will always remember the laughter, love, and kindness she shared with us.

Lovely memories of our chats while working with Marelle at Corangamarah. She was a special lady! šSeptember 30, 2024 10:01 am
A loving tribute to my long-time friend of over 50 years!
What fun we had, renting a unit together in Colac in our early 20's. We bore each other's burdens and shared each other's joys, joining in many a laugh and a tear, talking on into the late nights, and being tired at work the next day.
We didn't catch up with each other nearly as often as we'd have like to down the years, but would always pick up where we left off. Many text messages and long phone calls.
What a generous, kind and faithful friend you have been to me. Precious Marelle, how I will miss you.
We send our deepest sympathy to family and close friends as you farewell Marelle today. Unfortunately due to distance, we can't be with you in person, but will join you by live-stream.September 30, 2024 7:06 am
My deepest sympathy to Marelle's family. I did not think it would happen so soon. My dear friend Marelle, we went on some holidays together and shared amazing memories of being friends for more than 40 years. Such a giving person. We must remember the good memories are the best ones. Till we meet again.

Marelle was one of my dear āforever friendsā. And I can only give thanks to Jesus Christ for all the love, support, care, encouragement and joy she brought into my life, for the over the 40 years, we have known each other. She made a wonderful difference to my life, and that, of many others I have known. So may her memory of service, love and friendship to so many, live on. Enjoy your eternal rewards with the King, my dear friend. See you again somedayā¦ā¦ā¦Michelle Marriott

We will not forget Marelleās warm exuberance & kindness. We remember Marelle hosting us to a beautiful meal - she welcomed and served us like we were royalty with so much love & grace. It was uncanny that Hazel was thinking of Marelle and noted we had nearly polished off the jar of pickles Marelle had kindly given us on one of her last visits to our place - not long before we heard the sad news. Our tender sympathy to all the family.

Marelle was a kind-hearted and devoted nurse working in Corangamarah. Marelle loved talking about her gardening knowledge, with the residents and what she had just planted in her own gardens. Marelle would buy plants off the resident's trade table, for her gardens. Then she would bring in plant cuttings for the residents and lifestyle staff to propagate, for future sales. Nothing was ever to much trouble for Marelle. My condolences to Marelle's family. Another nursing Angel š, sprinkling her magic as she flies high. RIP Marelle. ššš·š¦
