I will miss Marna's warmth amongst us. Marna was such an inspiration: maintaining a long line of community engagement
throughout thirty years with Roslindale's Main Streets and Farmers Market, growing relationships with so many, all the while. Her independence, dignity, and generous spirit were a grace for Roslindale. My deepest condolences to Marna's whole family -- we share in, and support you through, your loss.

Marna will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was a delight to speak with, and I'll treasure all the great conversations we had. She was truly a beautiful soul, and cared deeply about people and the world. A fixture around Roslindale Square, she always took time to say hello. Even though she suffered with constant pain, she was determined to keep on walking and moving, working and socializing with young and old. And she was a Marine too, serving our country with honor. Quite an awesome person.Thanks for everything Marna! I'll miss your beautiful smile and laugh. Love, John

I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Marna. I volunteered on the RVMS Promotions Committee with her for nearly 15 years. She was very devoted and kind. She and I became good friends over the years. Roslindale and all of us are at a deep loss. God bless her and her family.

Marna was so wonderfully welcoming to me when I moved to Roslindale in 1999 and always lit up with a warm smile and hello. She was an anchor of the warmth of the village. I will miss her presence.

To Marna's family,
Marna was such a great inspiration and source of energy in Roslindale. I knew her mainly through her work with the RVMS Farmers' Market, 2009-2015. She was a tireless and consistent volunteer and always a community-booster. Loved both her stories of the RVMS market in its early days when she was a manager as well as her ideas for new ways we could build the market through our work with the Farmers' Market Committee. She will be sorely missed. Thank you for sharing your mom and grandma with all of us in the community. Jaime
