Marion, the devoted wife of the late Wendall McGonagle, is survived by her loving son, Robert McGonagle. She was also the proud mother of her late daughter, Patricia McGonagle.

Her collection of cookbooks was a testament to her passion for creating delicious meals that brought everyone together.

From a young age, Marion demonstrated an unwavering work ethic, beginning her work career just 16 years old. She was proud to have worked at her family-owned food market, Angelo and Josephine's, on Main Street in Manayunk. Her creativity and talent later flourished as she became the proud owner of her own beauty salon, aptly named Marion's. Her artistic touch and warm personality left an indelible mark on her clients and colleagues alike.Marion took immense pride in her home, finding comfort in its familiar surroundings. She would often prefer the quiet of her cozy abode to bustling venues, where she could savor moments of tranquility.
