Marion was a former communicant of St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic Church, Myrtle Beach, SC and St. Leo the Great’s Roman Catholic Church, Lincroft, NJ. Marion returned to NJ in 2018, settling in Cherry Hill, to be closer to her family.

Dignan of Glen Ridge, NJ, and Serena Dignan Fisher (Andrew) of Philadelphia, PA; cherished grandmother of Justin P. and Cameron B. Dignan, and Michael Dignan Fisher; and dear sister of John P.
