Marion was truly a professional in all her dealings at Bloom. She was organized, hard working and never left a job unfinished. We always laughed that she ran the school! She was a thorough secretary for the Bloom District Credit Union for many years. Marion was also our dear friend and we will miss her very much.

I was privileged to have worked with Marion for many, many years at Bloom High School. She was my assistant for the six years that I served as one of the many building Principals in her tenure at the school. Her dedication, loyalty, support and inspiring work effort was known to all. Meticulous in every aspect of her work, she never left a job or task incomplete. I was privileged to have known her as a colleague and friend. Bloom has lost a treasure in Marion.
My heartfelt sympathy to her family. She was very, very special.

I knew Marion as a professional and a friend. As a professional she was the best and as a friend she was just that a true friend. I worked and had lunch with Marion for over 30 years. She will truly be missed as my friend and lunch buddy My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family.

I knew Marion since third grade at Brookwood Elementary School. We stayed friends until I moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 2003. After I moved I would call Marion or she would call me almost every Sunday evening to catch up on the news in the Heights. We had many laughs with good and sad news. I will miss Marion for many years to come. Thank you Marion for being a great friend. May our Lord keep you in his loving hands. Rest well my friend until we meet again in heaven.
With love,
Charlotte

I knew Ms. Thibedeau as a student at Bloom. After graduation, I got to know her as a colleague while working at Bloom. She was always very professional, courteous, had a great sense of humor, and was a great asset to Bloom High School. I always admired her "spunk". She was intelligent and had one of the most beautiful souls. She had the most infectious laugh and always made you feel good after speaking with you. May the Lord grant her eternal rest, and may the perpetual light shine upon her.

Marion worked with my mother, Marie Cohrs, who served as registrar for Bloom for many years. They were dear friends, along with my sister Judith Cohrs. I also joined them occasionally when i was in town and we would go to perhaps a church dinner or some community function. Marion was a true friend to our family. We appreciated her good heart and her joyful attitude about life and her family. There is a great loss when such as she passes on, but we know she has taken her place in the glory and peace of heaven.
