Marianne, I have so many wonderful memories of time spent flying with you, working with you at AFA, and so many good times in Roanoke-in fact some of my fondest airline memories involve time spent with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You were a life force that will be sadly missed.

Hold on to the good memories of Marianne and let them guide us during this time of sadness.
December 21, 2010
Every image I have of Marianne is of her smiling and laughing. I can see her now with a twinkle in her eye; twisitng her mouth around to tell some hilarious story. She was the real deal; you never knew what she might say or do next. She was an honest, sincere and intelligent little gal. She also was a very kind and generous lady. If you were lucky enough to have her for a friend, you knew she had your back. I have missed her so much since she retired. I know she is in a better place--she has real wings now. And not silver wings; if I know Marianne they are platinum:) She had excellent taste and always looked like a little doll trotting around in her heels with her red lipstick on. My life has been diminished by her passing. She has left us with smiles in our memories and tears in our eyes. My thoughts are of her family and Tom also and wishing you peace and comfort at this very sad time. How very sad this must be for all of you.

I simply cannot think of a more eloquent way to remember you, Marianne, than to send you to the words of “The Planter’s Daughter” by Irish poet, Austin Clarke.
You were the Sunday in every week. Marianne, Sundays will never be the same. We will all miss you terribly. Your joyfulness, your wholehearted spirit, your levity, your overwhelming generosity, your tenderness, your youthfulness, your very essence gave and gave and gave. You planted in everyone the seeds of love. As we all drink deeply of your love and are silent at your passing, we seek to give your beloved Tom, your entire family and many friends, our good energy and our prayers to help them into a future filled with the joy having known and loved you.

All the images in my mind of Marianne are of her laughing, and making funny faces as she told hilarious stories. She was a truthful, honest, intelligent and sincere person with a big heart--Marianne was the real deal. She was the best friend any one could have. I missed her sooo much when she retired. I know she is in a better place--with real wings now. I imagine her with her red lipstick on; just darting about with that twinkle she always had in her eye. The loss of Marianne has diminished all the lives of everyone that knew her. My thoughts are with Tom and her family; you must know how much she was loved and will be missed.

Marianne,
Your presence, your smile,your warm hugs, and just to hear you say my name. You were special and dear to us all . You were truly the wind beneath our wings. Now, you are on top of the wings looking down at us. May God in his everloving wisdom welcome you onboard his aircraft. The name on the fuselage is "Eternal Life." Sit back,relax and enjoy the flight.

Where did it all begin... I cannot remeber as our friendship has been there forever. And where does it all end? It doesn't - as it will last forever, longer than time itself. I have always been your Huckleberry Friend, and you are my Holly. I am who I am today because of you Marianne. I will always love you. And I will miss you until we meet again; may Tom and your many friends find peace...

Tom
I was so saddened to hear of Marianne's death. We didn't get to know each other until I was an adult and we bonded over our jobs as flight attendants, but I loved her dearly. It was so wonderful to be at your wedding and see her so happy, and to get the chance to see Aunt Snooks as well before she died. I try to take comfort in the belief that she found the peace she was looking for in heaven with Aunt Snooks and Uncle Bob. Please know you are in my prayers during this difficult time, and I hope you know Marianne's family is here for you if you need us. You have only to ask. I will be with you in spirit on Wednesday.
All of my love, Tracy

As a new hire at Piedmont Airlines in 1978, Marianne was the first Flight Attendant that I met in Roanoke, Va. It was my first trip, I was a nervous wreck and what I will always remember about Marianne was how friendly she was and how she made me feel welcome to the Piedmont family. In later years Marianne reached out to me and my family during a very difficult time. I will always remember her for her kindness, her smile, and for being such a "class act". In this difficult time for her family, my heart and prayers go to them.

I cannot imagine attending Rotary meetings and parties without her beautiful smiling face greeting me. We will miss her.
I pray that Tom can find peace remembering the happy times they shared.

Everyone's life who has been touched by Marianne is saddened by your premature departure. You brightened every trip I had with your company, re-assuring me that all would be well tended to in the cabin. Your beaming smile, positive attitude, and spirited presence always made my trips with you a complete joy. You'll never be forgotten. Thank you for having been such a warm memory from Piedmont to USAirways. Capt. Tom Stanges
