Marian was educated at St. Francis de Sales School in Herkimer and graduated from Frankfort High School in 1939. Mom married our father, James R. Shannon on July 3, 1940 at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Frankfort. They shared their unconditional love with their friends and family, especially with us, their seven children. They instilled their strengths and values as a base for our lives. Dad passed away on May 19, 1969. Mom was blessed with never ending kindness and consideration for all.
