In 1992 Marian received the “Teachers Choice” Teaching Award – a prestigious honor bestowed on her by senior high school students who identified her as their most inspirational teacher. This award is a testament to the profound impact she had on her students – both intellectually and spiritually.

Throughout her life, her deep love of Our Lord led her to serve others in a variety of ways. She volunteered with the St. Vincent de Paul Society for 32 years contribution her time, talent and treasure to meet the needs of the less fortunate. Marian was active in the campaign to end abortion. She led countless prayer and scripture study groups. Her devotion to the rosary and the Blessed Virgin Mary inspired her to coordinate and lead “Rosary Prayer Groups” whenever and wherever possible.  She baked Potica for the Holy Trinity Parish to sell during the Easter and Christmas seasons every year and participated in the choir as well.

Marian was a model wife and mother – her deep spirituality and gentle manner, coupled with her professional knowledge of child development, guided her actions and decisions as she and Edward raised their three children. Marian’s devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Eucharist drew other to prayer and Eucharistic Adoration. She will be truly missed.
