A pianist, teacher and maker of homes, Marion sang beautifully in many church choirs. She had an unshakeable faith in Christ and was resilient in the face of much physical pain. Marion faced her challenges with a quick wit and common sense. She had the rare gift of always knowing the right thing to say, including "follow your heart".
