At Christmas time, Marianne's house was taken over by angels - on the tree, on tables, goblets, and towels, and really any available surface. Full of kindness and empathy, Marianne always loved angels. Everyone who knew her, no matter their faith, could easily be convinced that angels exist here...

As my husband and I age gracefully in our new apt.I often wonder what our future holds. One thing for sure, Maryanne will be greeting us in Heaven.

Where has the time gone. Our grandson and his wife were just camping at Promise Land and we told them about all our funny camping trips we did there with your family. Old memories always stay with us. Diane & George Schiffer

I replaced Marianne at the VNA of St Luke's when she was "retiring" in 1997. She was the original Hospice RN in that Hospice and Marianne was born to help patients and their families at the end of their lives. She went to the inpatient hospice and then volunteered, it was as if she couldn't bear to leave her patients.
Marianne was a fun and loving nurse. I can't imagine how many lives she touched. RIP Marianne and warmest wishes to your family.
