I was blessed to have Marianne in my life, as a mother, a teacher, and as the years passed, a friend. She was a wonderful grandmother to my children; Kayla, Autumn, Audre, and Miranda. Marianne enjoyed traveling when she retired, she loved her animals, her friends, and her years spent as a Bus Driver. She developed life long friends from grade school in Berkley to Co-workers in Caro. She had so many people who loved and cared for deeply. Nobody could have been prepared for her death; it happened so unexpectedly. I am reaching out for help in making Mari's final wish come true, to be buried in the Kingston Cemetery where she currently has her headstone. On March 13th, 2020, her 65th birthday, I am hosting a Memorial service with a benefit dinner in hopes of raising enough money, in lieu of flowers, to be able to bring all of the people who cared for her together, to help grieve, mourn, and with love, support, and prayers, closure.
