She was born on July 5, 1927 in Nixon, Texas to Bessie Mae Hester and Harmon Whitley Elliott. She lived most of her life in Alice, Texas. She was a member of the First Baptist Church where she sang in the choir. She was a member of the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary. She volunteered at Christus Spohn Hospital in Kingsville. She was known as “Amazing Grace” because she would sing to the patients in the ICU and it would calm them.

Marion will be forever loved and missed by her son, Fred (Pam) Herron of Spring, Texas; her daughters, Darlynn (Sam) Fugate of Kingsville, Texas, Sheron Tiner of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Janet Herron of Sandia, Texas; her step-sons, J. B. Evetts, III of Alice, Texas and Mark Evetts of Portland, Texas; one sister, Annabeth Caples of Katy, Texas; seventeen grandchildren, thirty-four great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandson.

A Chapel Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 8, 2019 at Holmgreen Mortuary Chapel. Interment will follow at Alice Cemetery in Alice, Texas.
