Marion enjoyed her family and friends. She loved people and helping people who were less fortunate than herself. She also enjoyed crocheting, visiting shut-ins, and those hospitalized. She loved being outdoors, fishing and being along the water because she said the water gave her a sense of calm and peacefulness.
Because she always wore a smile on her face, she was like a ray of sunshine. She was always interested in brightening others' days. She was a strong person and endured many hardships and trials. She taught her children that faith was something that no one could give you, yet it was also something that no one could take away from you.
