    Marion made this world a better place and now gets to go home.
    I was blessed to have Marion as a neighbor growing up. She was as much a part of our family as she was a neighbor. Every once in a while we are lucky enough to meet somebody who has the ability to influence our lives in an amazing way. Marion was one of those people!
    Marion you are missed more than you can possibly know!

    Marion was a lovely, well educated lady whom I always admired. She, her brother Clarence, and mother and father were always especially kind to our family. She was the first in our family on my mothers side to lead the way toward graduate school. She was always working for the Fremont community. I can always remember her lively discussions of issues of the day. She would come East to attend conferences and symposiums on a variety of topics and stop in for a visit. Once she came to my Air Force base to inspect my operations and report back to my mother. A wonderful lady. God bless her.

She will be missed and I will be a visitor to her grave site several times a year to pay my respects.. God bless you Miss Iverson..

    Sorry to hear. She had been the principal of Washington School for many years and that is how I met her. Will never forget her. My prayers are with family and friends.
