Marion was raised in Houma, LA where she went to highschool at Terrebonne High and further studied Physical Education at Nicholls State University. She had two sons who she could go on for days with crazy stories, but she loved them fiercely. Later in life she was a resident of Grapevine, Texas for some time till returning back to Houma, LA to be closer to her family. She had a passion for all things sewing. She was a diva and tomboy rolled into one. She always was dressed to the nines with a full face of makeup, but a sports game was always near. She was a very passionate LSU fan. Please feel free to wear LSU accessories in her honor!
She was a longtime parishioner of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
The family would like to thank Terrebonne Home Health, counsel aging/respite care, and Haydel Memorial Hospice for their impeccable care.
