So sorry to hear of Marian’s passing. Marian was a guardian angel for my Mom, Jennie Winchester, while she was a resident of Bishop Noa. She fed my Mom her lunch at noon every day. She could always get her to eat something. God has another angel with him. God Bless!

We have such fond memories of Marian, we first met her @ BSN nursing home in Escanaba where she was of such great service there helping other people, she fed our mother Jennie Winchester & we instantly became good friends!!! We always enjoyed talking with Marian & she was the only one who could feed Jennie when no one else could, special bond there. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family, especially Cory(grand-daughter) & extended family, who took such great care of Marian always!!!! She will be missed terribly by family & friends but knowing she is at peace with our Lord is a blessing!!!! She was a blessing to many many others……..

When I was young, my grandmother, Leona St. Vincent, was dear friends with Marian. I spent many Friday nights going out to Fish Fry with them and other friends. My grandmother passed away in 2008, and these two wonderful women will be greatly missed.
