In her senior year she began working at Michigan Bell Telephone Company as a co-op student and retired from Ameritech on January 1, 1989.

Marian maintained lifelong friendships with all of her coworkers, friends, and neighbors. She loved traveling with her family throughout the world. As the family historian, she collected and compiled genealogy information and the histories of her ancestors who immigrated from Germany and Switzerland. In 2014, to honor her great-grandfather, Johann Christian Spaeth, Marian donated a piece of her property (originally owned by Spaeth 120 years earlier) and a memorial bench to Saginaw Township. She was a longtime and faithful member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, its Ladies Aid Society (B.L.E.S.T), its Senior Group (Bethlehem Stars) and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (L.W.M.L.).
