Marion Elsie Annand was a charter member of Soroptimist International of the TriCities when it formed in 1999, helping the club grow into the strong community organization it is today. Marion always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, as she greeted every new member with open arms. It didn’t matter what project it was, Marion was always one of the first to say “Yes, I can do this.” Her quiet and warm dignity made volunteering with her a true joy. We share her family’s sadness at her passing.
