I had the privilege of teaching with Marion. She was a dedicated teacher and a very kind and loving person. She influenced so many students and staff. My wife and I send our deepest condolences to her friends and family. May she rest in piece. She will be missed.
We have many memories of Marian. Condolences to family.
Jim, we are saddened to hear of your mothers’ passing. Our condolences to you and Cindy at this sad time.
Jim, Sorry to hear about your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Marian and I were friends for many years. She was so proud her family.
My condolences to your family on the loss of your Mother. When she was teaching she had my daughter Wendy as a student. I was told that she was often called Linda instead of Wendy. My daughter said she got used to it happening and went along it. I believe it was 2nd grade.
Jim I’m so sorry for your lost. She will truly be missed..
