Dear Allan, Kandy & family,
Sending my deepest sympathy. Marion was always so kind to me and so willing to help those in need. I loved her knitting. Im sosorry for your loss
I remember Marion from when I lived in Central Butte many years ago. I always found her to be a kind and caring person.
May she Rest Peacefully
I’m so sorry to hear of Marion’s passing. I always appreciated her. I got to know Marion at Iver Main, and continued our acquaintance at the Manor. I lead church services at both Iver Main and the Manor. I share a bit with the residents, but mostly play the piano and we sing the old hymns. Over time I found out that Marion was an amazing piano player, and she would often play some songs for me. A few months ago Marion came up to the piano in her wheelchair and asked me if she could play a song. It was so great to hear her play again! Staff told me she didn’t do that very often. She will be missed.
Dear Allan, Kandy and boys
My sympathy to you. Marion was responsible for the start of the Manor Singers years ago, and the group still exists, bringing old songs and hymns to folks in the Manor and IverMain. She was a talented pianist!
RIP Marion. You were always a consistently good friend. Condolences to family.
Sad to learn of Marion’s passing. She was always my right arm helping to lead seasonal services and memorial services at The Manor over many years. She was a blessing as she was always willing to play the piano for us. Sincere thoughts and prayers for family and friends.
My condolences Allan and family, your Mom was so talented at the piano and so very proud of you. At Iver Main, we often discussed your University application and teaching. May she rest in peace.
My condolences to Allan and family on Marion’s passing. I just learned of this and in talking with my Dad was reminded that she played a piano at our barn dance after the new one was built in the mid seventies.
