Marion married James Burrows on June 12, 1948, and they lived in a small trailer court behind Memorial Florist on Gardeners Row.

She was very proud when she became a life master and taught bridge at the YMCA. After retirement, they enjoyed traveling with friends and family, which included many countries.
