Marion my 1st cousin, one of the sweetest people I knew, we were born 10 days apart and growing up with her was the best. Through the years we always talked, she call just to say Hi and say we loved each other, my heart is so heavy and wish this was one of her April fool jokes she played, I can't believe you are gone , I can't see your smile, hear your laughter or listen when you wanted to make points to me or call you just to talk, our life growing up was the best, we had so much fun, no matter what you were there., always supporting, always loving and carrying to all who came in contact with you. You touch not just life's in our family but you touched the lives of others as well! I love you to life an you are certainly being missed now a forever!

Bonita G. Moore

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Marian. I had the pleasure of working with her at Aetna and will always remember her kindness and warmth. She touched so many lives with her generosity and gentle spirit, and she will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.

Melody Gurley

There is no one in this world like Marian. She was a special person, and she will always be with you. May your precious memories of her bring you comfort.

You have no idea how much Marian will be missed at work. She was smart and hard working. She knew her stuff and was always willing to help others. I'll miss seeing the top of her head during our team meetings (she often had her camera pointed high so all we could see were her eyes and above). She was so sweet and kind, but was also honest. She wasn't afraid to speak up when needed. She had a great sense of humor, I'll miss her laugh. I wish I lived close enough to taste her food, I kept hearing how amazing it was. Her family was the most important thing in her life (as it should be), she loved you all dearly! I'll miss hearing about all the grandkids and the outrageous things the Lil Mama says.

I feel blessed to have known her! She will be forever in my heart!!

Angi McCloy

So sorry to hear about Marian's passing. She was such a caring and influential person on my team for several years. I know she will be greatly missed by so many that experienced Marian's kindness and gentle spirit. I pray much grace to her family during this time.

Mark Dawes

My grandma was the best person you could meet. Her mac and cheese was the best. She was kind and sweet, and she had a beautiful heart. She always put a smile on someone's face and would never let anyone down. You will forever be missed. Love, Zaya.

Marian was such a kind and caring person. She will be so missed by so many. Sending love to her husband, her boys, and her grandbabies.
