Marien loved cats, literature, art, antiques, attending the opera at Lincoln Center and living in the heart of Manhattan after spending many years as a resident of Brooklyn.  She spent many of her summers enjoying boating, swimming, and walking in the mountains at her family cabins in Lake George, New York. Marien will be missed by all who had the pleasure of her friendship and love.
