Marion Wilberding MacKenzie

This world lost someone special on Sunday, January 24, 2010. Marion was born on April 15th 1924 in Detroit, Michigan to parents Frank and Mary Wilberding, younger sister to brothers Frank and Ed. She attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart before completing her college degree at the University or Detroit.
Marion and her husband, Gordon, recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a group of couples in Naples, Florida who call themselves the 49ers. They shared a sense of fun and adventure which took them around the world, including two extended stays in England. They thoroughly enjoyed their Saturday lunches in the country, and Marion, her day trips to London scouring for antiques, and absorbing the rich culture of their adopted city.
Marion was the ultimate partner in life and career. She shared with Gordon a successful automotive career with many highs and lows, all of which she met with her characteristic elegance, modesty and quiet thoughtfulness. In addition, she was a person of deep faith and remained a devout Roman Catholic her entire life.
She was the mother of three boys, Blair, John, and David, who was loved by everyone who knew her, and widely considered one of the great moms of all time with her nurturing kindness and warmth. She was truly a beautiful person both inside and out.
