My sincere condolences to all of Sister Marion’s family and friends. I met Sister Marion at Tyer Temple UMC and we became fast friends. She was a wonderful person and church member. She was active in our United Methodist Women’s group and participated in every way. We used to talk and laugh on the phone for hours. I am so glad she shared her wisdom with me. Know that God has her in the palm of His hand.
