While there she met and married Gordon and had her only child NaPua.
Having her fill of island life Marion moved her new family back to the “main land” and settled in the small town of Battle Mountain, NV.

Marion was an avid golfer she played many rounds at the Diamond Mountain Golf Club, in Susanville. In her life Marion played golf any chance she got and one of her happiest memories was the time she got to play on the esteemed PGA Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, CA. Marion also loved singing, reading and needle point. Marion loved her family and friends dearly, and she was always happy when family was able to get together.
Marion enjoyed life to the fullest and with a child like wondrous amazement she was always looking to learn new things with a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to be fully quenched. Marion always liked this saying “May there be just enough clouds in your life to create a glorious sunset.”
