Marion was a meticulous homemaker, expert seamstress, generous volunteer and was sure to provide a delicious meal for every family gathering. An eldest daughter, she took care of her parents as they aged and was known by many for the twinkle in her eyes, ready smile and her cute quips.

Her family is grateful for the excellent and compassionate care Marion received from Dr. Jane Cornett and the staff and volunteers at Nazareth Home.
