Marianne immediately endeared herself to the Fraser community with her eternal zest for life and positive energy. Marianne supervised the Winter Park Resort Season Pass Department for 19 years and owned/operated The Tile Lady.


Marianne's true passion was for people and helping them achieve their dreams. In 2003 Marianne received her bachelor's degree in communication and went on to get her life coaching credentials. Life coaching was her passion.


She has two daughters, Carridy and Krista, and was a devoted, creative and loving mother.
