Not sure what to say?

I am truly saddened to hear of Marion's passing. She cared deeply for the Governor Bellingham~Cary House where she served as a Board member, volunteer and valued, long time member. Two years ago, she wrote us that she had first visited the house when she was just 5 years old! Those 90+ years of dedication and interest was a great gift, one that is rarely given and we are profoundly grateful. May memories and love bring you peace. Karen Mac Innis, Pres. & the entire Governor...

I have know Marion all my life. I was born in Chelsea and was baptized at the First Congregational Church and still attend services there.
I sat next to Marion in the choir and always enjoyed her solos and duets with Roberta Pellerin. She loved to sing and always sang in the Strawberry Festivals and musicals at the church many years ago.,
Marion was very active in the church and community and was always concerned about how everyone was doing. She helped plan the annual church...

Without question, Marion was a pillar at the church on County Rd. She and Roberta were soloists and close friends many years ago when I attended Sunday School at First Congregational.

Up until a few weeks ago, the Board of Trustees consulted with her to gain insight on various situations. Even though she was unable to attend church,...

Marty and Angela, I was just told of your mom passing. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady and a great friend to my mom. I am sure that she is leading the heavenly choir along with my mom. Two of the angelic voices that always sang together. May you find peace in knowing that there were a lot of friends to great her on the other side. Gail (Pellerin) Paradiso

When I was a Parish Priest at St Rose Church, the Chelsea Interfaith Committee
met regularly. Marion was always there with her warm, welcoming, grandmotherly personality. We were a wonderful, faith filled group, that really loved each other. I will be remembering Marion & our entire Committee at Mass on Cape Cod this weekend. God bless Marion!
