The world was blessed with her arrival on Sunday, February 19, 1939 in Mt. Vernon, Illinois to James and Martha (Bayne) Brown.
She is survived by her twin daughters, Marty (Nichols) Brierley of Castle Rock, CO and Tracy Nichols of Highlands Ranch, CO. In addition to her girls, she is survived by her enduring companion, Bruce Holub (‘BA’) of Fountain Hills; her son-in-law, Patrick Joseph Brierley, grand dog ‘Rocky,’ both of Castle Rock, CO and her brother, (James) Steven Brown, of Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
Marian graduated from Mt. Vernon Township High School, class of ’56, where she was a member of The National Honor Society and the Honor Roll as well as a candidate for the Prom Queen court. She married Bob Nichols soon after and they moved west to Denver, Colorado where she was an executive secretary for the President of Amoco Oil. After retiring to raise her children, she lived life to the fullest and without regret. ‘Mar’ (as she was fondly known) was a fantastic cook, interior decorator, avid crossword puzzle worker, party planner extraordinaire and hostess with the mostess!
With such a beautiful face, smile, laugh and spirit, Heaven is definitely receiving a rare, sparkling gem for sure! She will be greatly missed by all her family and wonderful friends nationwide from Mt. Vernon to Denver to sunny Arizona. To know ‘Mar’ was to love ‘Mar!’
