Marion was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Wausau. She was employed with the Marathon County Treasurer / Finance Department, where she retired after 26 years of service.

Marion enjoyed spending time with her family and get-togethers at their cottage on Manson Lake. She bowled on the National Bowling League for over 25 years, and on the State Bowling League for over 35 years. Marion was especially fond of the many friends she met through bowling.
