Debbie, Bob & to all your family. I am so sorry for your loss. 

I'll always remember how welcoming my Grandma was to family and even strangers.. The big holiday gatherings at her old home are family lore.  Games of horse on the driveway hoop, Easter egg hunts, and drinking Dr. Pepper on the large front porch. I feel very grateful to have experienced those times with all my cousins and extended family, and I can't wait to share these stories with my daughters as they get older. 
 
She was incredibly tough to overcome a number of major life challenges, and talking to her you would not even know it. Instead, she'd be more concerned with how I was doing, making me feel at ease. And like everyone in the Banark family, she loved to smile and share a good laugh, something the world could use more of right now. Rest In Peace, Grandma! We love you!

We will all miss you so much, Grandma. Your huge heart and warm home were always felt by us grand kids. Amanda and I will share many stories to your great grand daughter, Maria Ann about her great grandmother, Marianne. Love you! 

So sorry to hear of your loss of Marianne.  We always enjoyed seeing her at St. Cecilia mass and events.  You could always tell how proud she was of her family.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless, 
Denise and Joe Saniuk

My brother is Lloyd and Marianne is my sister-in-law. 
These two loving people made an impact on my life from the day I was born. I knew unconditional love because of them.  I had right from wrong explained in depth to me because of them.  
I was their "practice kid" as Marianne would share with me when I got older. 
I smile everytime I hear her unique one of a kind laugh in my mind as a recall the many memories we shared.
 She stood by my brother through thick and thin.  They raised kids that add to their community with honor proudly giving back  to others for their many blessings.
My life is far better because Debbie, Bob, John, Dave are forever in my heart with their kids and grandkids.
With love and respect to  the legacy that are Lloyd and Marianne.

Will sure will miss our kind, loving, silly grandma Banark. She loved all of her kids, grandkids, and great grands. Everyone was always welcome over to her house to visit. She knew when to have a good laugh and when to put the kids in their place. Will never forget the big Christmas gatherings at her small house in Omaha growing up. We had a ball, granny. Love you!
