Marion Byrd Hart

To Marion's family I am so sorry for your loss. I am a 1999 Graduate of MBC. My father also worked in the Development Office there. Every time I went to visit him, Marion would always come running over with her giant warming smile and a hug. She knew how to brighten a room with her smile.

I met Ms Hart when she visited at Fishersville UMC and attended the XYZ group dinners. She was such a loving and cheerful lady, I will miss seeing her. God's blessings to her family, may your fond memories support you through this sad time.

Marion was a huge part of my childhood years. Even as a child I was in awe of her. I loved her independant and outspoken nature. I especially remember her laugh, her beauty and her love for her family and friends. I was fortunate to have reconnected with her after she found me on my work website and sent me an email.

Holland, Laurie, Mom and myself offer our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom. She was a very special Lady and we will miss her very much.

So sorry for your loss. Marion was a valued member of our Volunteer Corps at the R. R. Smith Center for History and Art. She was indeed a stellar ambassador for the Center with her winning smile and kind demeanor and will be missed by all her friends there.

Miss Marion taught me how to see the beauty in the world around me. Being able to see that beauty has been a lifesaver for me many times over the years. She was a blessing in my life. I am praying for your family as you mourn your loss.

Marion was quite a lady. I loved hearing her stories and seeing her next artistic venture. She kept me in line at work and in retirement and I will miss the "Dear Judy" emails to setup lunch for our Fun-raiser group.

I worked with Marion at MBC and learned so much from her. I teased her about stopping at her house and picking all of her beautiful roses. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow.

No love, no friendship can ever cross our path without affecting us in some way... forever.
We 'knew' Marion thru our daughter, Stephanie Hatlem's time at MBC & our Parents' Council participation. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face! I know she will be missed by many. To Holland: our condolences, thoughts and prayers are yours at this time of loss.

To Marion's family-
I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Marion for a few years at MBC and have missed her presence since she left the office. Keeping you in my prayers.

Marion was a great lady. A true artist. A mentor. I am honored to have known her and to have worked with her. And I will miss her fabulous stories and her occasional cantankerous moods. Rest in peace wonderful lady, you will be missed.
