Marianne was born in Hobart, Oklahoma November 14, 1927 to Buster and Goldie Haney. She graduated

from Friona High School in 1944. She married her children’s father, Clifford Beavers, in Dimmit, Texas

following his return from the Army in 1946.

She was a faithful servant of her Lord, Jesus, whom she met at an early age while the family resided

in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl years. They moved to the panhandle of Texas soon after where

her father became a farmer.

Marianne graduated from Plainview Nursing School in 1960, and began her lifelong dream of being able

to help and serve people in need. She worked at the hospital in Plainview upon graduation, later working

for several doctors. In 1971, she moved to Paris, Texas with her 2 daughters and immediately went to

work for St. Joseph’s Hospital where, in 1973, she met her future husband John Jack. They were married June 8, 1974.

She had a knack for art and John convinced her to retire from nursing and start art lessons. She began

her studies with a local Paris art class held in a friend’s home. She then enrolled and attended the

Dmitri Vail School of Art in Richardson, Texas where she learned how to paint portraits. She was best known for her landscapes and renditions of wildlife.

She was preceded in death by her parents Buster and Goldie Haney, 2 brothers, Lavon Haney and Gail Haney, sister, Zola Jackson, first husband Clifford Beavers and husband John Jack, and step-son Michael Jack.

She is survived by her children, Pam Prince and husband Mike, Darrell Beavers, and Dede Thomas

and husband David, her brother Roy Haney, and sister Doris Dorsett, 3 grandchildren, Laurisa Prince, Dru Thomas and Shanna Thomas, 4 Great Grandchildren, Derrick Thomas, Dylan Thomas, Sydney Thomas and Katherine Prince, 2 great-great Children, Myles and Mollie Thomas and numerous nieces and nephews.

Casket bearers will be her son, her grandsons and her sons-in-law.

In lieu of usual floral memorials, the family requests memorials be made in Marianne’s name to the

church of your choice.
