Born on September 7, 1949, in Queens, New York, Marley was the beloved daughter of the late Mary Brennan and Martin Manning.

As Shakespeare once said, "And when she dies, cut her out in little stars, and she shall make the face of the heavens so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun."
