Marion was an active member of the Terryville Congregational Church for over 65 years. She enjoyed the fellowship, being a Deaconess, was on many committees, taught Sunday School and was part of their famous "church-mice" group; that was special to her.

Marion began working for Food Mart as a training manager for their offices in the district, and then she went to work as an inspector for Gems, until her retirement. They often spent their time enjoying snowmobiling, skiing, golf, and antiquing around the family cottage on Harvey & Seymour Lake in Vermont. Once retired, she and Wendell became snow-birds and enjoyed wintering in Zephyrhills, FL, for over 20 years, she enjoyed antiquing, tag sales, traveling and biking with her "Three Musketeer's".
