Marion's greatest joy was being a wife, mother and Meme. She and Ron enjoyed camping, snowmobiling, and line dancing. She took great pride in watching her daughter, Kim, and grandchildren Samantha and Frankie grow and supported their games and activities. She had many dogs as pets, and loved her special girl, Bitsy. She loved hosting get-togethers at their house and playing games with friends.

Marion had many hobbies and passions in life. Her love of books and reading led her to a career as a Library Assistant at the Gay-Kimball library in Troy, NH. She received her Certificate of Library Sciences and enjoyed being the children's librarian. Inheriting her green thumb from her father, she loved to grow vegetables and decorate her yard with flowers. Marion loved to camp, whether it be Beach Week, travels around New England with family and friends, or holiday weekends at her sister's house.
