Sorry to hear of Marietta’s passing. I met her a few times and she was a very nice lady. She was my Grandmother Isabelle’s sister, and I guess my great Aunt. May God comfort all of the Family at this time.

Marietta was amazing lady. I had the privilege to spend time with her as her home health Cna. I enjoyed our talks and her advice. I loved the days when she was spunky and in a mood. She would always be happy to see me and that made my day. She will be missed by many. My condolences to her family. Prayers and thoughts your way. May you rest in peace.

The loss of a loved one is never easy on family and friends who loved them. But just knowing how much she meant to other people is a comfort in itself. Aunt Marrietta will never be forgotten and will always be remembered in our hearts as a person who always thought of other people ahead of herself. Our condolences to the entire Owens family. John, Carol, Jaydin, and Jace Hepper.

I just wanted to say that your mom was a very important person in my life. I think I spent more time at your house than I did my own.
My thoughts are with you
