Marianne was a devoted nurse at Dartmouth Hitchcock for many years. Before her nursing career, she spent many years working for the Killington Mountain Resort. She loved to travel and was always up for an adventure skiing or hiking. Marianne was a huge dog lover and spent much of her time doting on all her many dogs over the years. She was an incredibly loyal friend and you could find her laughing and loving all of her treasured friendships, with people near and far.

She leaves behind cherished memories that will be held close to the hearts of her children, grandchildren, siblings, friends and all that knew her. May her soul rest in peace, knowing that her love and kindness continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.
