Marian had a wonderful sense of humor, which endeared her to her family and friends. She also had a great memory, being able to easily recall events in the past and matters of everyday life. Marian's vision was impaired from the time she was a child, and so, she very much enjoyed listening to the Cleveland Indians on the radio (never missing a game), as well as Dover High School basketball and audio books.

Christmas and Christmas dinner very special to Marian, as it revolved around faith and family. She was also very fond of picnics in warm weather. As was mentioned earlier, she loved her children, grandchildren, their children, and their children's children, and was grateful for the precious time she had with them.
