Marion was employed for many years at Bush Brothers and Company in Augusta, retiring in the 1980’s. Marion had always enjoyed spending time with her family; whether it was the daily phone calls and many shopping trips with her sisters, or traveling to a casino for the day or just going to a thrift sale.
