Marnite was truly a loving and giving person. As a fellow Earlhamite, her cheerfulness and smile brightened many an overcast day. She, Manning Marable, and I started together and made a unique finish together.

I remember having several classes with Marnite at North Meck. She was always polite and gentle, but determined at every task. She persevered through some difficult times, and reflected the courage and strength that came from her mother and father. May you be comforted by the Lord in this time of loss. Let your memories of Marnite serve as a basis for celebrating a life of success and fullness.
