Marion was born on September 8, 1957. She was a cherished wife, mother, sister, and friend, whose vibrant spirit and infectious smile brightened the lives of all who knew her.

Marion excelled in her career in logistics within the promotional products industry, dedicating many years of her life to Ace Specialties. Her professionalism and commitment earned her the respect and admiration of colleagues and friends alike. Marion's warmth and kindness extended far beyond her workplace; she was a devoted family woman who found true joy in the company of her loved ones.

Marion had a zest for life that was evident in her many passions. She loved to dance, fill her home with the wonderful aroma of her cooking and baking. She enjoyed the excitement of a night at the casino or playing cards with her family friends. Most importantly, she cherished her family and the time she spent with them. Marion will be deeply missed.

We praise and thank God for the years we shared with Marion. We know she believed in the power of prayer and was proud to share her birthday with the Blessed Virgin Mary. As she prayed the prayer of our Blessed Mother we too ask the Holy Mother of God to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen
