She attended Wharton elementary school, Lanier junior high school, and graduated from San Jacinto High School. She was a stay at home Mom raising her daughter Angela and then went to work at Forest Park Westheimer Funeral Home and Cemetery for almost 25 years where she made lifelong friends and had the privilege of going to a job she absolutely loved.
Marian is survived by her daughter Angela Christine Gennusa. She is also survived by her sister Tanya Green and husband John, her niece's Donna Smith and husband Jeff, Pamela Colonna and husband Michael, her nephew Mitchell, and great niece’s and nephew’s Rachael, Margarette, Amy, Ashlea, Brice, Stefan, Joshua, and Joseph.
For those inquiring, the family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to PetSmart Charities as Marian was a large advocate for ending animal cruelty and homelessness.
