Marian was a member of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church and was very involved in her faith.

Marian is known as Boulder City’s first Welcome Wagon Lady. She always exercised and did Tai Chi and Yoga. Marian was also a great cook. She had a benevolent smile and her laugh would light up a room. She was friendly to everyone and never met a stranger.
Marian is survived by three children: Marianne (Hans) Ruud, Elizabeth (John) Butler, Dr. Thomas F. (Lisa) Drost jr.; seven grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
