Marion and her family were our neighbors when I was growing up. She helped me get my first job at McPherson’s Cleaners as a counter girl. She always was bubbly and had a big smile for everyone. My prayers go out to her family.

I knew Marian through Wings of Hope Hospice as a volunteer. We worked on many projects together…the Allegan County Fair booth, numerous auctions and garage sales to name a few. She had a upbeat personality and was always a lot of fun to work with. Blessings and prayers to her family.
