So sad that I am just learning. I will always have a place in my heart for this fun-loving lady. So full of life. Our family had many good times together in the 60s and 70s. Andy and Brian, I know that has left a whole in your life, but Marvadeen will never be forgotten.

I met Marvedeen many years ago and truly enjoyed many years of having a friendship with this very special lady. It started with bowling, league bowling, and onto state tournaments and then she introduced me to cards and then we ventured to Bunco. Marvedeen told it like it was and that was one of the things I loved about her. She has left with a lot of good memories for all of us and I will miss her so much. I know she is up in heaven right now sitting at the table, a handful of cards playing Follow the Queen. Love you Marvedeen!

Marvedeen was one of a kind! She was a fun loving person who loved life itself, always found the good in everything and everyone. I knew her over 40 years ago and once you met her you never forgot her. She was an excellent poker player and we will certainly miss her, it won't be the same. Marvey (as I called her) loved her family and my heart goes out to the family.
