" Marrabell loved to cook and was known for her
hospitality in that department. She loved anything tasty!"
She also loved to crochet and made numerous afghan's for anyone needing to snuggle. Marrabell loved visiting with family and friends near and far. She knew how to use her cell phone VERY well.
Marrabell is survived by her daughter, Sandra; and her very dear grandchildren: Kim Pearson, Damon Gano, Dodie Harsh and Beau Schulz. She was extremely proud of her nine great-grandchildren; and she was blessed to have two bonus grandchildren: Diane Mortenson and Debbie Herman and their families in her life.
She was preceded in death by Earl, her husband of 67 years; and her son, Fred Schulz.
A service in her honor will be held at Family of Christ Lutheran Church on Fri., March 8 at 10:00 a.m. Later that same day, a reception will be held in Lebanon, OR, at the Lebanon Public Library Community Room from 4:00- 6:00 p.m. All are welcome to celebrate with her family.
