MARIAN CONSTANCE LARSON

born June 16, 1918 became a sparkling star in Heaven on her daughter’s birthday, January 21, 2015. Marian was 96 1/2 years old, full of life, glamorous, loved her bling, fiercely independent and sometimes affectionately referred to as her childhood nickname “The Terrible-Tempered Miss Bangs.” She is survived by her only child, daughter Sandra Dowler (husband John,) granddaughters Jennifer Von Behren (husband Eric) and Nancy Junso (husband Jeff,) and her six great-grandsons Noah Tarr, Justin Tarr, Trevor Junso, Gavin Junso, Derek Junso, and Eric Von Behren Jr.

Marian loved her family and was a very proud Mother & Grandmother. From showing off her daughters rose paintings to bragging about her new great-grand-babies. She also loved to play bridge, poker, & bingo but most of all, she couldn’t wait to get to Heaven and join the love of her life, husband Karl Larson, in a round of golf. She was an amazing woman and will forever be in our hearts.
