was born May 19, 1940 in Burwell Nebraska and passed away on Feb. 3, 2015. She moved to Morenci, Ariz. at the age of three. She graduated from Morenci High School in 1958 and married JD McCain the very next day. They moved to San Manuel in 1973 and then to Oracle in 1976. Marianne worked for State Farm Insurance for more than 20 years before retiring in 1996.
Marianne’s family and friends remember her for her kindness and quiet strength. She was a great listener, which came in handy raising four spirited daughters. She was a wonderful cook, loved to crochet and especially enjoyed sitting on her back patio drinking coffee, watching the birds and taking in the view of her gardens and the mountains. Her love and commitment to the family will be carried on through her daughters.
She is survived by her husband of 56 years, JD and four daughters; Debra Carpenter (Kevin), and their children Tiffany, Sarah, Conner and Kyle; and Tiffany’s children Daityn, Macaidyn and Trigg; Kathy McClure (David), and their children DJ (Cassie) and Nicholas; and DJ’s children Maddison, Alora and Annabelle; and Sheryl McIntosh (Paul) and their children Luke, Ryan and Rachel; and Kim Luallin (Scott) and their children Arielle and Christopher.
Services were held at the Living Word Chapel in Oracle on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015.
