Posted on: Saturday, October 17, 2020I remember Aunt Marion well spending a few weeks each summer in the little house her drawing us cut out dolls which we would then create wardrobes for. Playing in the breezeway or sitting in the arbor. She always had something creative for us to do.
My sincerest condolences to her family.

Posted on: Sunday, October 18, 2020I have known Marion for 53 years. In the early days I always called her Mrs. Coulson. . I spent so much time at the house with Terry that she probably thought she had a fourth daughter. She was kind, and funny and always so welcoming. My dad visited her weekly at the home, before Covid and he will truly miss her as well. Deepest condolences too all the family . Love Karen , Bob, Val, and Rosalin.
