Biography

Marilyn Ruth Take was born in Toronto on March 11, 1928. She studied ballet at age 5, and danced in the opera Hansel and Gretel at age 17. She also learned the violin and was a springboard diver. She was inspired to take up figure skating after seeing a performance by Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie. Sponsored by Toronto Skating Club, she skated at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1937.[3]

In 1945 and 1946, Take came in second place after Barbara Ann Scott in the Canadian Figure Skating Championships. In the 1947 championships, Take came in first place while Scott was competing abroad at the time of the event.[3]

Take finished twelfth in the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland; she had a fall on a slushy outdoor rink that had ruts from hockey games. Despite that, her performance did receive praise from Mildred Richardson of The Observer and T.D. Richardson of the Times of London, a former Olympic skater. She also competed in the world championships at Davos finishing 13th. Scott won both these competitions. After her return from Europe, Take joined the Shipstads and Johnson Ice Follies being billed as a professional solo skater.[3]

In 1953, she married Roy Codrington Wittstock and stayed home to raise their three children. Later, the marriage would end in divorce. In the 1970s, she worked as a figure skating coach at several Ontario skating clubs.[3]

Take died on April 14, 2023, at the age of 95[4] of dementia.[3]

He was probably also a priest, and the picture that survives of him in the Squarcialupi Codex shows him in the robes of the Benedictine order.
