One day, a grandfather brought a grumpy 3 year old to church who was quickly fascinated by this dancing 70 year old. Then, Marion saw the 3 year old looking at her and invited her to join the dance with her. They ended up in the aisle together dancing. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7565"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7653"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7652">Fred Emerson's mailing address</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7655"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7654">4555 East Mayo Boulevard</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7657"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7656">#3408</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7659"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7658">Phoenix, Arizona 85050</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7660"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7662"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7661">Fred's email: fred@fredandmarion.com</span></div><div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7663"> </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7663">Just amazing to me, the quality of people I have had in my life!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7663"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7663"><br></div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7796"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://partnersinparticipation.com/?page_id=123">Jim Wiegel</a> <br><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7798"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;line-height:18.3999996185303px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434833825056_7797">“If you want an adventure . . . what a time to be alive!”.

She is survived by her husband Fred with whom she shared nearly 54 years of marriage. She is also survived by her daughter Beth Shoemake of Purcell, OK and her son David of Dallas, TX, as well as grandchildren Steven, Matthew, Thomas and Michael. </div><div class="yiv5923933744MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;"> </div><div class="yiv5923933744MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;">Marion was born in Washington, D.C. and graduated from Swarthmore College with a degree in Economics and Math. Marion and Fred started their married life in Manhattan, NY and thoroughly enjoyed six years there, where their two children were born. A change of jobs for Fred brought them to the Chicago suburbs, where he joined Greyhound-Dial Corp. In 1971 they moved to Phoenix, where for 10 years she was a substitute High School math teacher in the Phoenix Public schools. Marion spent many years as a volunteer facilitator for the Institute of Cultural Affairs. Later she returned to graduate school to study Industrial Engineering and then joined the Bureau of Reclamation where for 13 years she was a teacher and facilitator for the newly important personal computer revolution. </div><div class="yiv5923933744MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;">Together with her family she enjoyed many adventures sailing, flying their small Cessna plane, and back packing. The family sailed in exotic places such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Belize, the Caribbean, the San Juan Islands, Croatia, and the Lycian coast of Turkey. Marion and Fred have hiked extensively in Arizona; they have also hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. </div><div class="yiv5923933744MsoNormal">For 34 years Marion and Fred enjoyed their cabin in the White Mountains of Arizona (Greer, elevation 8500'). The cabin narrowly escaped burning in the Wallow Fire. Marion was active in Greer as a Docent and Board member at the Butterfly Lodge Museum. She worked with many non-profit organizations over the years, <span style="font-size:12.0pt;">notably the Ecumenical Institute and its successor, the Institute of Cultural Affairs, where she was a strategic planner and facilitator. She also </span>served as a consultant in the Third World village of El Bayad, Egypt.
