Born in 1939, she grew up in Medford, WI, London England and graduated high school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, attended UW Madison, majoring in history. A Registered Nurse, she had a career as a graduate of Milwaukee County General Hospital School of Nursing. In 1969 she met Carson La Belle a “County” student nurse.

Marianne enjoyed history, especially the history of England, her father was stationed in England near the end of WWII, she and another friend were known to skip school and explored all over London. They had a particular interest in the many museums there. She was an avid reader, an expert knitter, and adept at organizing and planning trips, arranging many worry-free vacations. She was well liked by her friends and has kept in touch with them over the decades. She was an animal lover and particularly liked (and spoiled) dogs.
