Marian Masbruch

I am so sorry to hear that Marian has passed. I have known Marian since I was a child and one of her students. Marian taught me from 1st thru 6th grade when our country school was closed. I attended Center School in Harrison township. The years she taught me would have been about mid 50's thru early 60. She was a wonderful teacher and was always there teaching 1st thru 8th in a little one room school. She drove out on those awful old roads thru snow and bad weather. Noreen you have our sympathy and prayers. She will be missed by all the people whose lives have been touched by her. Randy and Connie (Stanton) Stephens

With dad being an antique dealer for so many years, I and and my siblings had an extended family with all the acquaintances, or more appropriately good friends, of mom and dad. Marian and Clay were part of that extended “antique family”. Karen and I remember seeing Marian at many auctions or stopping over to see mom and dad. While saddened to hear that Marian is no longer with us, the memories of earlier times brought a warmth to my heart and a smile to my face. Marian was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Marian was my teacher at Westview Elementary when I was a third grader, probably around 1973. I had struggled as a reader until it all came together for me in her classroom. All these year's later she is still one of my favorite all time teachers and I was blessed and lucky to have been her student. My condolences to the family.

Marian was always such a lovely person to be around. Truly an excellent teacher. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about one of my favorite teachers passing. She was always such a sweet lady. I have only fond memories of her even years after I was out of school. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends, and to the thousands of ex-students that will be grieving this loss. An extra special prayer for you all.
