Deepest sympathy to the family. I grew up on Sunnyside and was one of Marian's neighbors for many years. I have many fond memories of my visits with Marian. My neighbor and I, Dennis, would go and visit her pretty much every day after school. We would keep her updated with school and talk with her about the Cardinals or watch Bob Ross on PBS. Sometimes we would rake up piles of leaves and jump in them in her backyard. She loved being outside. She also loved her dogs…she would cook for them and add special treats to their dog food. And their most special treat that the dogs would get was caramels. They loved them. Marian is one of my biggest memories from when I was about 6 til 12 and I'm 33 now. She was a wonderful lady. ~Kimberly Patient (Kimberly Rappe')
