Marian enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren and later in life her great-grandchildren. She was the happiest when she had a baby on her lap. She also enjoyed gardening, puzzles, flower arranging, family get-togethers and catching the occasional fish. Marian was a talented artist as well as a creative seamstress making many wedding, formal, prom and dance dresses.
She was well known as a foster mom to many. It was certainly a passion of hers to help and take care of all children.
