Mrs. Marian was the sweetest neighbor. She was always so happy to have us drop in and visit. I am so apologetic that I did not know she had passed. Her sweet spirit and smile will be what we remember.
Lovely lady. The Eddie Earleys Thornton Rd.

I remember Mrs Mayo so well! She tried to help me learn the May Party dance when I had two left feet!! I still can't tell my left from my right. And, of course, I remember the days in PE and the rainy days when she ruled over the study hall! I can still see her sitting on the stool in the cafeteria when she was on "cafeteria duty". She was a teacher who has stayed with me all these years!

To all the family, I will cherish the memories and times spent with your Mom. She was always so loving and kind to me. Even in our rowdy young years. We all will miss her. May her love be passed on through all of us.

I count myself blessed to have been in Marian's life. She and Jiggs were always such positive people - full of life and love. I'll never forget the smile!

Much Love

To all of the family,
Marian was a special person to me and to many others.
At FSCW Physical Education Majors were a close group. All of the years between then and now would vanish whenever we were together. "Baby Girl" and I created several dances and had fun showing them. We also worked together on some reunion events for FSU. More play than work.
You were blessed to have her in your lives so now you have sweet memories to share.

I shall surely miss Marian, her smile, her humor, her hugs. My Sundays were enhanced by her presence, knowing that all I needed to do was turn around and she would be there with a wonderful smile, a touch of the hand,and then a hug. My prayers and love go out to you.
