An avid beachcomber, rock collector, and lifelong gar- dener, Marion turned each of her yards into an interesting oasis, with rock paths, driftwood decorations, and many and varied plants, and she always took along a bucket of her colorful flowers when headed for an out-of-town vis- it.

Also in the 1980s she joined Goldie Walston's group and worked hard raising funds for the Red Bluff Community Center, then served as member and vice president of the Community Center Auxiliary. Marion cared about people, mentored individuals and supported efforts toward peace and fairness.

Kessey (Roger McPherson); sons Barry R. Kessey (Dawn Redlaczyk), and Michael J.
