She leaves an only child, Robyn Goodrich of Ithaca, NY; a granddaughter Lesley Gibbs and her husband Michael of Clinton, CT, 6 great grandchildren, 1 great grandson-in-law, and many friends. Marion loved all the wonderful activities provided by the recreation department at Riverside and attended many of them. Marion was a long-time member of First Congregation Church of East Hartford. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her and her wonderful zest for life. Marion's family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff at Riverside for their loving care. Newkirk & Whitney Funeral Home is caring for the arrangements.
