She is currently a member of the Looking Ahead breast cancer support group and the Vernon Central Fire Department.

Marian and her late husband, Bob, were married for nearly 60 years. They are the proud parents of three children and have been blessed with four grandchildren.

Marian and her children all live on Mullen Road and routinely contribute to the family farm.
