My heart goes out to Marianne's family...I did not know she had passed, but was concerned when I didn't receive a Christmas card and letter from her in 2020. We reconnected in Las Vegas a few years ago after being former sorority sisters at U of A. Always loved Marianne, her kindness and love of life and family. Looked forward every year to receiving her newsy and fun stories of her adventures through life. I will miss her dearly...thank you for sharing her with me. Susan K. Schaeffer-Werner
