She worked for Bell Telephone (Verizon) from 1953 to 1991, when she retired.

Marion enjoyed the Jersey shore on Cresse Avenue in Wildwood, NJ for many years with her mother and a multitude of family and visitors over the years. There were also regular visits to the Atlantic City Casinos with her mother, sister Eleanor and husband George, as well as Harrah's in Chester. There were occasional trips to Las Vegas too. She loved her family holidays spent with the Friels, McNamaras, Kayatis and Freedmans over the years. She will be dearly missed this Thanksgiving, one of her favorite holidays.

Beloved Aunt of Karen Friel, Christine McNamara, George Kayati, Stephanie Freedman, Diane Stallbaum, Eileen Ranieri, Joanne D'Angella, Lorraine Zito, Dorothy Scahill, Ethel West, Cheryl Buscemi and Leonard Check and many great nieces and nephews.
