DOROTHY LUCILLE MARIUS Dorothy Lucille Marius passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 17, 2002.

She was also a few units short of a masters in Family Counseling at the Mennonite Brethrens Biblical Seminary. She worked for the Fresno Unified School District as a counselor until she retired. Dorothy loved the Lord and was active in Christian services: teaching Sunday School, serving as speaker on Christ related issues for women, and a facilitator at Christian seminars and workshops.
