I only met Marian a couple of times, through my daughter, Emily. When I visited with her I found her to be a sweet and loving person, who was so proud of her family, and full of life - especially considering her age! She was an inspiration to all who came in contact with her.
My condolences to her family.

I was given the opportunity to visit with Marian for 2 1/2 years while she was living at the Friendly Home. Her love of family, friends & life was an inspiration to me and I will always hold our friendship dear to my heart.
Rest in peace, my friend!
