When at home, she busies herself doing household chores and loves to cook and experiment with new recipes. Marion enjoys gardening and outdoor activities such as walking and canoeing. She loves to sew and read, and at "day's end" she unwinds by doing cryptoquotes.

Marion's goal in life is "to find good in every situation", and this, she finds, is both challeng— ing and rewarding.
