I was fortunate enough to know Marian in both a professional and personal capacity. As a teacher, she had the remarkable ability to recognize what a person needed and help them move forward, no matter what skill level was involved. She was unfailingly polite, compassionate, and sympathetic, but also a true pedagogue, helping countless students move forward in their love of vocal music. She will be missed as a voice instructor, of course. But in fact, humanity itself has been diminished without her light in the world.
