Marianne thoroughly enjoyed life and was so full of life. She had an infectious genuine smile that she shared with everyone she met and was a ray of sunshine to all who knew her.

Whether sitting on the floor playing Jacks, coloring, sitting at the beach, poolside, or just hanging out, Marianne always enjoyed her time spent with her friends and family.
