We would like to mention one special person, Camille, who solved the almost 50-year mystery of what happened to Marion’s brother Bob’s plane that fateful day of June 22, 1944. Thank you, Camille, for giving mom peace.
According to her wishes cremation has taken place and a memorial service may be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Lee-Ramsay Funeral Home-Gladwin Chapel.
