Marion Golda Dardnne (Cason)

Marion Golda Dardnne (Cason), 89, resident of Boerne, Texas, died on Saturday, January 24, 2026, with family by her side. Mimi, as she was affectionately known, was born on December 14, 1936, in Little Rock, Arkansas to Golda Marie (Caple) and Marion Carl Dardnne. Marion was raised in England and Pine Bluff, Arkansas near the family farms that she managed throughout her adult life.

She graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1954 and studied music at Lindenwood College in St. Louis, Missouri, where she met her first husband, John Vincze. They married in 1955 and John's aerospace engineering career required them to move to several different places, finally settling in Clear Lake City, Texas, where they raised their three children: John, Julie and Johanna. In 1979, Marion married her second husband, George Marshall Cason, and they resided in Clear Lake City and Eagle Lake, Texas. After their divorce, Marion returned to Arkansas to be near her aging parents, Robert and Golda (Caple) Reneau. After the passing of Robert, Marion and Golda moved to The Woodlands, TX to be near Julie and her family and Marion's final move was to Boerne, TX in 2014, where Johanna resides.

Marion is preceded in death by her parents, Golda Marie (Caple) and Robert Lee Reneau and Marion Carl Dardnne, and her son, John Franklin Vincze. She is survived by two daughters, Julie Michele (Vincze) and Larry Sanderson of Friendswood, Texas and Johanna Elisabeth (Vincze) and Rick Webb of Boerne, Texas. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and two-and-a-half great-grandchildren: Cody James and Cassandra Sanderson and their children, Rocco and Nico, of Friendswood, Texas; Lauren Marie (Sanderson) and Ben Miller and their baby-on-the-way of Spring, Texas; Jonathan Louis and Megan Vincze of Sacramento, California; Eva Shelby Webb of Arvada, Colorado; Caroline Elisabeth Sanderson of Friendswood, Texas; Jacob Michael Webb of Boerne, Texas; and Jason Mitchell Vincze of New York, New York. Other extended family surviving her includes Janet Vincze of Plano, Texas and Glen Cason of Galveston, Texas.

Mimi was a beautiful person inside and out, with a soft heart that was limitless for people and pets alike. She had a very sharp intellect and enjoyed keeping current on politics and world events. She was an avid, life-long genealogist and spent countless hours tracing her family roots back to the 1700's. Marion was also a talented pianist, vocalist, and ceramic artist. She loved gardening and sitting on the porch to enjoy her blooming garden. Mimi's undeniable loving spirit and devotion to her family, friends, and pets will be truly missed.

The family would like to thank the wonderful people that helped us care for Mimi: her devoted caregivers, Stephanie Mullins and Pam Travis, both of Boerne, Texas, and Crest Home Palliative and Hospice Care.

A Celebration of Life Reception will be held on Saturday, February 7th at Oben @ Richter's Tavern, 153 South Main Street in Boerne, Texas, from 1:00-4:00 pm. Her ashes will be returned to Tomberlin, Arkansas for her final resting place next to her parents and grandparents.
