In Memorandum of Marie Marques

Marie Marques was a registered nurse for over 27 years and was well known for her knowledge, advocacy, determination, passion and wisdom. She is missed by the Canadian Nurses Association as she was instrumental as the program lead for the CNA credentialing centre. She was kind and compassionate. She worked tirelessly to support specialized nursing certification. Respected by all who knew her, Marie was readily available to offer support to specialized nursing associations and facilitated national networking opportunities. Marie is a role model for what one person can do for nursing leadership and professional practice. Thank you Marie for your contribution to the world of nursing and continual growth. CPCNA offers gratitude for the opportunity to have known and worked with Marie. As an organization we offer condolences to Marie’s family and friends. She will be truly missed.
