Born and raised in St. Louis, Marian attended St. Teresa Grade School and graduated from Laboure in 1946. She married the love of her life and took great pride in raising three wonderful children. Some of her happiest memories were made during summers at the family lake house, surrounded by relatives and lifelong friends.

Marian was known for many things, but perhaps most impressive was her extraordinary ability to enjoy boating, swimming, and even water skiing without ever getting her hair wet, a skill admired by all and mastered by none.

She was an avid bridge player and took up golf for one very good reason: so she could enjoy the game alongside Jack. She was also a dedicated Jafra consultant for many years, faithfully serving her most loyal, and only, client: herself.

Her Irish heritage shone through in her steadfast belief that family always comes first, a value she passed down to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Marian was loved by many and her life will be celebrated with a private ceremony. Please celebrate a life well lived and a woman who was well loved. We invite you to honor her beautiful life with some of her favorite things: Dots, a good laugh, Dove ice cream with dark chocolate, and an ice-cold Diet Coke, or by making a donation to your favorite charity.
