Marion was a second mom to many of us in the neighborhood. She taught me to drive and how to make fried bread that was topped with her wonderful green chile. She always had time to share and have fun. Prayers and condolences to all of the family.
Marion was my second mother growing up. She was always so kind and loving.
Marion planted the seed which lead me to the church.
She was such a good role model for me to raise a family.
Prayers go to Sara and the family. I send much đź’• love.
I love Marian as a sister I knew her many years. She blessed many people. She was there always for her family. She had so much love in her heart. She is a angel.
So sorry to hear of Sister Garner’s passing. I have known her for years especially in the old Belmont church building. Now she is united with Fred and a grand reunion with other family members. Our sincere prayers and love go out to their family at this time of sorrow!
So very sorry to hear of the passing of this good woman. May each family member be comforted and blessed at this time.
Condolences to the family
Marion was very kind to us kids on the block!
You were so lovely and loved by so many. Thank you for being a great mom to Sara and a great grandmother to her kids. ❤️
My heart goes to all the family. She was one of the favorite people in the family. We loved staying with her when we went through Pueblo on vacation. Her husband and my husband were very close. I vision the smile on her husband’s face when he greeted her. Love to all and may our Heavenly Father comfort you! One memory that will always be with me is her quiche pies!
My condolences to Marion’s Family and Friends. She was an amazing person.
