She went on to become a very successful business woman during a time where most women were not. She began her career at Goldrings Department Store on Canal Street, in the 1960’s until mid-1970’s and continued on with her love of the business to establish her very own successful clothing store, “The Locker” with stores in Chalmette, Slidell and in Covington, along with her business partner Jim Brown, which both he and his wife, Arlyss Brown are still very good friends and apart of her life. Marion has also remained friends with her dear friend, Madeline Russo “Sister Sue” for the past 75 year, her children Jim, John and Jason have always been considered her extended family. Marion along with her husband Calvin were two of the most giving and caring people, though busy with their careers they always found time to help those in need and not so fortunate. As their way of giving back, they contributed to “Operation Merry Christmas” in St. Bernard Parish, which is an annual toy give away. Special thanks to the nurses and aids of Notre Dame Hospice and caregivers Natanya, Dorothy and Lee who assisted and cared sincerely for Marion during her last months.
