Aunt Marian, was always there when you needed her. She took care of us kids when my mom had a stroke that was four kids. Plus her four. To this day, I feel terrible that I was not able to attend her funeral as I was very sick. Another memory is she introduced pizza to our family as we never had it before I miss her very much.

As a granddaughter of her youngest sister, I always got to see Marion and Wally whenever they drove to Waterloo, Iowa. I remember seeing them as kids and remembering they were always happy to see us. As we all got older the visits got less and less, but I still have those memories of how fun their visits were.

Aunt Marian was a wonderful person to everyone that she met in her lifetime. I enjoyed her visits to Kalamazoo, MI to visit her brother and sister. She was loved by everyone and will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to Barb, Michael, and Steve. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
