Marion attended McIndoes Academy, in Barnet, VT, where she excelled at cheerleading, basketball and dancing.
Marion and Wendell met in high school and married in 1951 and made their home in Terryville, CT, where she stayed home to raise their two children, Cindy and Robert, until they started junior high school. Marion was an active member of the Terryville Congregational Church for over 65 years. She enjoyed the fellowship, being a Deaconess, was on many committees, taught Sunday School and was part of their famous “church-mice” group; that was special to her. Marion and Wendell’s biggest love was following their children all over New England, to watch them in their sports activities. The tradition followed for their grandchildren as well.

Marion began working for Food Mart as a training manager for their offices in the district, and then she went to work as an inspector for Gems, until her retirement. They often spent their time enjoying snowmobiling, skiing, golf, and antiquing around the family cottage on Harvey & Seymour Lake in Vermont. Once retired, she and Wendell became snow-birds and enjoyed wintering in Zephyrhills, FL, for over 20 years, she enjoyed antiquing, tag sales, traveling and biking with her “Three Musketeer’s”.

To know Marion, was to love her. She was very compassionate, and her life was centered around her family and friends. Besides her husband, Marion was predeceased by her parents, her sisters, Beverly Winters and Shirley Daniels and her brothers, Donald, James and David Hadley.
