Marion was a homebody and enjoyed making people happy. She was a loving wife, the best mother a child could ever ask for and a caring grandmother. She was a fantastic cook and always had enough for anyone who stepped through the door. Marion enjoyed dancing; she won several 1st place trophies. She also loved her chocolates. She would laugh so hard, she could make anyone around her laugh.
