As former members of Plaza Baptist Church, we were blessed to have known and work beside Marion. She was a lovely, gentle lady and a wonderful Christian example to us all.
We look forward to seeing her again someday in Heaven. John 14:1-4

I only knew Marion for a few years from church and bible study but what a lady to look up to. She loved the Lord and showed it in everything she said and did. She also taught my daughters in Sunday School. What an inspiration! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Marion was a wonderful Christian woman. I loved her dearly and thank the Lord for bringing her in my life 30 years ago. She mentored me and shared the love of Christ with me and made me a better person.
I will miss you my dear, sweet Marion.
