Not sure what to say?

Marni and I were in a hiking group together in Durango. She was a lovely person with a beautiful smile and an enthusiastic, skilled hiker.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of the loss of Marnie. She had been living life so fully and joyfully. Such an inspiration! We were high school classmates and had continued our friendship throughout the following years. I will miss her greatly. My heartfelt condolences to her treasured family.

This message is for Marnie's family. Your Mom, Momo, Aunt, Mother-in-law - whoever she was to you made it her primary goal in life to keep her family together. To support you, to cheer you on, to comfort you, to keep you active and healthy. Do not let her down by losing her life's focus. Decide who among you will be your next Momo and keep her alive in you by staying together. Love to all of you. Leslie Pyle Wilkes

Marnie was the mother of my dear friend Patti. She was always so sweet and kind to us when we were teenagers and this continued to even a few years ago when she opened up her home in Durango for me and Patti to stay during our high school reunion? I´m so glad I got to spend that time with this lovely lady!

We did not know Marnie well but every time we saw her she had a smile on her face and was a delight to be around. Marnie will be well remembered by all who were touched by her positive spirit. Mary and Kerry O'Brien

Marnie was the most adventurous one I have ever met! Loved her stories. A true lady that deeply treasured her family and friends. Passionate in the moment! I feel honored to have known Marnie.

What a wonderful person and life! I´m glad I had the opportunity to know Marnie and meet another with my name!

I had the privilege of meeting Marnie through golfing with the Stonegate golf group. She was our hero - hit the ball straight, could always make a putt, always smiling, happy, and such an outstanding athlete. We always told her we wanted to be like her when we were her age. She talked about her family all the time and we enjoyed listening to her. She left a very positive impact on me and the others in our golf group. She will be missed.
