To Marion's family,
The Matkins family would like you to know that Marion was such a kind, loving and generous person. She kept our children in the nursery when we lived in Newport News and attended NRBC.She was the first one to our door with dinner when I had to go out of town to be sure my husband had dinner for himself and the kids and I called her my friend. A beautiful person both inside and out.I had not seen her in several years and did not know she was Ill. We are so sorry for your loss but find peace in knowing she is in a better place and will forever watch over us all as she did for so many here on earth.
With loving memories,
The Matkins Family ~

Marion was always such a force of positive energy, love and creativity. Her smile and good will were infectious and always appreciated. I treasure the 5 years we have shared in painting class/studio time. I will miss her.
My heart and prayers go out to all of her friends and family who have known her, loved her, and helped her through her journey. May she rest in God's loving arms now.

Marion was a wonderful lady. I saw her right before Christmas at the Cheese Shoppe. As always, she was warm and friendly - taking time to ask about everyone in my family. She was also eager to share all of the great news about her family. She was such a kind and gracious woman. I know she will be missed!
