Whether it was cub scouts or little league. She was an accomplished accordion player and appeared on television a handful of times, playing at various events. In her free time, Marian enjoyed painting, sewing, crocheting and cooking. She also enjoyed playing bridge with her club or with various friend groups and in her later years, looked forward to playing the penny slots. Marian will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
