I’ve known Marietta for many years. She was always so funny and kind. When I had cancer she reached out to me and offered encouragement, told me to stay positive. She will never know how much that meant to me. My sympathies to the family.
Shirley Bergman says
Sending my heartfelt sympathy to Marietta’s family. I first met Marietta in 1976 when I lived with my in-laws across the street from her on Ferndale Street. Whenever I lived with the Bergmans (when my husband was on an overseas assignment), my daughter and I went to Marietta for our hair styling. And, we got to use the pool too. Marietta was such a lovely, caring lady. I have thought about her often, no matter where we have lived. I know she is smiling in Heaven.
Shirley Gidley says
