She was a homemaker who took great joy in taking care of her family. She loved playing with her grand and great grandchildren. They were the love of her life! Marion was the life of the party with jokes and lots of laughter. She knew how to have a good time and lived life to the fullest. The family would like to Thank her long term care givers Caroline and Darice for taking such good care of her, as well as her nurse Carol and everyone at Haydel Hospice; Dr. Raul Doria, Nurse Doe, all of her Chemo nurses at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at TGMC; and Dr. Bruce Guidry for their outstanding support and dedication over the past years.
