Marion on her 100th day Mar 6, 2011

 

On Feb 5th my Great Aunt Marion passed away peacefully.  Being 1 month short of 101 she was an amazing woman.  Always positive. Always smiling. Always gracious. Always loving.  She was my maternal G'ma's younger sister.  She had 2 brothers that lived to adulthood and 2 that died in their youth.  She was raised in Yakima, WA but lived most of her adult life in Seattle and Marysville, WA.
Aside from suffering with macular degeneration in her later years and a stroke after turning 100, she was healthy to the end.  I should live so well and long.  RIP Aunt Marion!
