Marion was a devout Catholic and active in the church. She served on the funeral lunch committee, was a Eucharistic minister, was active in CURSILLO, was a proud Deacon's wife and especially enjoyed her visit to the Holy Land during the Deacon training program.

Marion was a great cook and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was also very active in her children and grandchildren's lives. Family dinners, vacations and adventures brought so much happiness to her.

Many words have been used to describe Marion, Mom, Twink and Grammie. Faithfilled, welcoming, kind, caring and so many more that family and friends have shared with us.

Marion will be dearly missed but will live on in the hearts and actions of her family and friends.
