Our hearts are broken on hearing of Marian's passing, we called her Gret. My mother is 106 years old, Gret made sure she stayed in touch regularly with her great aunt who looked forward to speaking with her. She is our family. We loved her very much.

I'm thinking of you during this difficult time & I'm here for you whenever you need me. I hope that your memories of your mom bring you peace, comfort, and strength.
Sweet Marian, a symbol of elegance, grace, and quiet strength all in one. A true lady who loved her fashion—always polished, hair done, nails perfect, and her jewelry just right. Not for attention, but because she carried herself with pride and self-respect.
Her spirit was gentle and calm, but don't let that softness fool you—she would set you straight with love, wisdom, and truth when needed.
She lived her life beautifully, with class, dignity, and a presence that will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, my sweet friend. You wore your crown so well. 💔✨
