She will be greatly missed, among the women in the building where she lived. She seemed to bring everyone together. A lovely lady that will leave a huge void in the lives of everyone who knew her. May she rest in peace, and I pray she’s in a better place. Rest quietly, my friend.
God Bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss . Marianne was one of the kindest ladies I know. I loved hearing her buck list stories. She will be missed dearly.
I am heartbroken over the loss of Marianne. I had the pleasure of living next to her for almost 8 years. Two Mariannes living side by side. She was a true angel on earth, always there with a smile. She always looked out for me and for that I will be forever grateful. My condolences to her family, friends and everyone else that had the fortune to have known her.
