Marion was a caregiver for our two children when they were little. As a much-loved surrogate grandmother, she showered them with her wisdom, guidance, care, and affection. Her generosity of spirit was an inspiration. We will always think of her as Mema, and hold her in our hearts with gratitude forever. The Lewis Family - Gordon, Lisa, Michael-Robert, Rebecca
My deepest sympathies to the family.
Your mother did services as deacon when we were without a pastor a Trinity Lutheran Church New Hyde Park. I always enjoyed her sermons. If I remember correctly we shared the same birthdate. I'm sorry I won't be around for her memorial service.
Rest in peace with the Lord Marion.
