    During my stay at D’Ouville Manor rehab, Marion was my roommate, she was such a wonderful person and a true lady! Her family meant the world to her. It was my pleasure to have her as my roommate. So sorry for the loss of your beautiful and caring Mom! Jeannine DeMatteis

    She was a sweetheart, to be sure. And she was awfully good to my folks. My brothers, sisters, and I will all miss having her in the neighborhood.

    Bette Ann, David, Mark, Gen, Tony and baby Paul, We are so saddened for the loss of our beautiful cousin Marion. Please know that we are disheartened not to be able to attend a service, but we are with you in our thoughts and prayers. She was so proud of her family, and expressed joy at the birth of her new great-grandson, sending love and pictures just a few short weeks ago. I will remember our holiday gatherings, and always, her beautiful smile. She was a kind and gracious lady. I look forward to a time in the near future when we can celebrate her beautiful life, and share memories. Love, Patti, Bruce, and family
