Marion was preceded in death in 2002 by her husband, Dick Knipfing, Sr. Marion's life was centered on loving God and her family and on helping other people. She belonged to Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Parish and she was an active member of the Marianites. Even as she raised her children and managed her home, she reached out to others by becoming a certified Braillist and transcribing countless books for the blind. Marion was also a customer service supervisor for Blue Cross-Blue Shield. But mostly, she was our Mom. She loved us always, cared for us, worried about us and never stopped praying for us. We love you, Mom. A Rosary will be recited Friday, January 6, 2006, 7:30 p.m., at Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Church.
