You will be missed. We loved you.
You were a gentle and kind soul.
A hard working man. Someone who
cared for others and enjoyed the
outdoors, sports, and fishing.
May you rest in peace.
Love,
Your son and daughter

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Sept. 7, 2014, Marion passed away peacefully with family at her side.
She is survived by her husband, Les; daughter, Trish; sister, Carolyn Johnson; grandchildren, Nicole Givens, Amber Hughes, Kristen King and Jacob Givens; nieces, Sandi Ford and Jolynn Johnson; and nephew, Kaleb Daw.
She will be missed by many.
It was Marion’s wish to print this poem in her obituary.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a sole set free,
Miss me a Little – But not too long,
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love we shared,
Miss me – But let me go,
For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go it alone.
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me – But let me Go.
There will be a barbecue at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at her home for family and friends to celebrate Marion’s life. For more information email
Please sign Marion’s online guestbook at www.jonesmortuary.com and www.legacy.com .
