Marian was an avid reader, preferring British murder mysteries above all others. In her 80s and early 90s, she read one book per day. On her monthly visits to the library, Marian would read the last page of each book she picked up in order to determine if she'd be interested in reading it or if she had read it before. Marian also loved doing all of the daily puzzles in the Philadelphia Inquirer and learned how to play Sudoku in her 70s or 80s. Crossword puzzles were a particular favorite of Marian's and she could complete them effortlessly.

Perhaps the secret to Marian's long life, in addition to reading and puzzles, was several cups of coffee per day. She liked it piping hot and black. Having been born and raised in Philadelphia, soft pretzels were a favorite of Marian's. She also loved chocolate, donuts and maple walnut ice cream.
