Family Members:

Beloved wife of the late Burton Brown. Dear mother of the late Sherrill Berman and mother-in-law of Michael Berman. Loving grandmother of Justin Berman and Madison Berman. Also survived by her adoring dog, Ellie and many other loving family members and friends.

Marion devoted the 96 years of her life to caring for others, both professionally and personally. For many years, she worked as a school administrative assistant, where her kindness and dedication touched countless students and staff. She was an outstanding mother to her daughter, Sherrill, and kept her memory and spirit alive after her passing. After Sherrill's passing, Marion was cared for by her son-in-law, Michael, who thought of her as his own mother and supported her throughout the rest of her life. Marion joyfully embraced her role as a grandmother, becoming a constant and devoted presence to her grandchildren, Madison and Justin. She never missed a sporting event or dance recital and took great pride in being part of their lives. A true friend to many, she loved playing cards, sharing stories, and staying socially connected. During her many years at Brookdale Assisted Living, she was a valued and beloved member of the community. Marion was a true social butterfly who especially enjoyed having her hair and nails done at all times. She cherished Saturday lunches with her grandchildren, where she loved hearing about their lives. In recent years, Marion was delighted by Sunday family visits and time spent with her "grand-pup," Ellie. Though she endured profound loss, she continued to live life to the fullest. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
