Marianne had various jobs.  She loved working with children. She was a Sunday School and Bible School Teacher, and a 4-H leader.  Her all-time favorite job was teacher's aide at Remsen-Union Elementary School.  She later worked in retail, insurance, and H&R Block.

She loved her family, friends and neighbors.  Her faith was strong and she cared about everyone.  She was always glad to listen and help anyone she could.  Though the cancer took away her voice toward the end, her life spoke volumes about loving and being kind to all people.
