In memoriam - Marion Maekin

On June 13th, Marion Maekin passed away. She was 72 years old, and had been struggling with clinical depression.

Hailing from the UK, Marion came to Auroville in 2014 with her husband Tony, and joined in 2016. With her straightforward, direct and friendly nature, she was a much-appreciated teacher in several schools and other educational projects, took part in the Aikiyam support group, was involved with the Farewell team as well as with the Tibetan Pavilion, and functioned as a lively and hands-on member of the Auroville child protection group.

Many of us will remember her from the road, on her three-wheeler scooter with, on the back, her elderly husband Tony, whom she always surrounded and treated with the utmost love and care
