She was one of many St. Joseph Sisters' angelic voices which were recorded on a Christmas carol record album enjoyed to this day. She held memberships with the Sweet Adelines and the chorus of The Pittsburgh Opera.
Marian was a beautiful, loving lady, who was blessed with the gentle strength of kindness towards everyone she met. She loved all her nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Through her devotion in God's prayers, she shared the gifts of living life's joys to its fullest.
