Her stint as a legal secretary, many years in the interior design business, and several years as a realtor have laid the foundation for knowing how to deal with the many aspects of flood preparation and recovery. Firsthand experience with a flooded home led her to collaborate with a friend who flooded twice to pen a book to help others deal with the devastation of flooding.
Juggling all these careers while raising a large family, and then helping with grandchildren, has kept her very busy. She still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for her many hobbies, which include music, art, sewing and gardening.
Marian also spends many hours volunteering at her church and a local homeless shelter. Her spirit of helpfulness prompted her to produce a publication to help others that may have to deal with the devastation of their home flooding.view less
