Born in Trafford, Pa. on Aug. 9, 1933, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Laura (Hegland) Farrow.

She was a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who truly loved and enjoyed her family. Upon graduation from high school, Marion worked as a secretary for Westinghouse.

She was a roller coaster enthusiast visiting Kennywood regularly for 80 years. Marion also enjoyed reading, puzzle building, coloring and going to flea markets. Trips to the casino with her family and friends always brought a smile to her face. In addition, she loved games, and Game Show Network was her favorite.
