She married her late husband Roy Wayne Shawcroft in 1967 and raised their children Julie and Steve in Eastern Colorado where they lived until his passing in 2023. Marian enjoyed creating many different forms of art and has several pieces that are seen throughout family homes and celebrations.
To her sisters, nieces, and nephews, she was affectionately known as Sandy. A nickname that appears throughout her family recipes. Those recipes craftily put together over the years were very special to her and her sisters and are preserved with her children and grandchildren.
Marian was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Suzanne and Joan, and a great-grandchild, Zavier. She is survived by her sister, Nancy, children, Julie and Steve, grandchildren, Jordan, Ryan, Aaron, Drake, Slater, and Savannah, great-grandchildren, Mia, Max, and Maeve.
