My heart is heavy this day, Marian was a hard working lady! I had the pleasure to work with her at Bannock and Portneuf. We were on the 1 st bowling team that was formed by the Bannock Employees. We kicked butt ! She was our hanker gal, for a pint size gal she was powerful! Hope theres bowling in Heaven
