She married Donald E. Hummel later that same year. Marion was employed by Keeler Brass Company during the 1960s. She loved many hobbies including bowling, golfing, and traveling with the Hamps, playing games and cards, and was a perfectionist with her needlework, creating many beautiful afghans and blankets for family and friends. Her greatest joy was being with her family and rarely missed a chance to attend birthday parties and other family gatherings. The other joy in Marion’s life was her church family of the Living Gospel Church where she served as the church librarian and wherever else she could.
