Marian was a friend from her years at Woodcrest Villa. She had a sharp mind and a keen sense of humor. I enjoyed visiting with her during her stay at Mennonite Home. I will miss her funny observations on aging and her exasperated “Tell me about it!” response.

I miss Marian so much. She was my great-grandma. I can still hear her saying “Forget about it!” and “Getting old is for the birds!” 🙂
