Sandy,Frank, and Bruce Godzik says
Our sincere sympathy goes to Bryan and Dee for the loss of their mom, and to the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Marion was a humble and gracious lady who worked hard at her business with her husband, worked hard at enduring trials and tribulations of life, but did it all with a smile and strong heart. May she rest in peace.
Mary says
To the family, my sincere condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to end all suffering. Before long, God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things (will) have passed away.”(Rev. 21:3,4). May this promise from God give you comfort now and a real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Family of Marion, My name is Mike Mears. I live at Inspired. I am the one who taught Marion to play bridge. Although she had never played before, she was quick to learn. By having that connection with her, I got to know her better than most people there. She was funny. She was determined. She was compassionate. She was a delight to be around. I will miss her.
Melanie King says
Marion, Your mom was a joy to know. In 2004 was on the same trip to Charleston, Savannah and Williamsburg with her and Lynn. We played words with friends online many nights and saw each other at Bealls on occasions. She was always a friend and a good listener. She will be missed.
