My most sincere condolences to Marlyn's family at this difficult time. Marlyn's warmth, generosity, gentle humour and kindness will be forever remembered -- and treasured -- by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Dr. Marlyn Livermore blessed my life for several decades, both as my dearest friend and an esteemed colleague. Her boundless compassion meant she made invaluable contributions over many years to her chosen profession, one which involves confronting and challenging the most painful forms of human suffering. Marlyn's love for her husband and dear children, grandchildren, great-grand-child and god-children was similarly limitless. My family and I deeply will miss her beautiful smiling eyes and angelic kind heart.
Marlyn was one of the most caring, conscientious psychiatrists I have known, and she wrote the most comprehensive, detailed patient histories in STPH. May God bless her family at this time!
Marlyn will be deeply missed by all of us who had the privilege of working with her at St. Thomas Psychiatric Hospital. She was a superb clinician and a wonderful friend. Jo
