Percival and Richard J. Percival.
Marion's professional journey began in 1959 at the Moore-Cottrell Magazine Subscription Agency in North Cohocton, where not only did she excel at her work but also formed lasting friendships that she treasured throughout her life. Her career was marked by her gentle nature and her ability to bring warmth and camaraderie to the workplace.
Marion had a passion for the simple pleasures in life. She was known for her love of animals, cherishing her many pets that brought joy and companionship to her home. Her flower gardens were a testament to her patience and care, especially her roses, which flourished under her attentive hand. These interests were reflections of Marion's gentle spirit, a quality that she was best known for and which made her a beloved figure in the lives of those she touched.
