Several nieces and nephews in Connecticut.    Her step children, Susan (James) Sachs and Doug (Marianne) Van Houte, their children and grandchildren.   Other surviving family members include sisters-in-law, Ruth Smith and Betty (Dick) Lowley plus many friends.

Marion was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Macedon and spent many years volunteering at the Fairport Baptist Home. She was a captain with the Civil Air Patrol and a 50-year member of the order of the Tri-Star Chapter of Eastern Star.   Marion enjoyed family functions, traveling and doing needlepoint crafts.
