Marian J. Paton, 74, a lifetime Marshall County resident, living in Garden Court East, 501 Pennsylvania Ave., Plymouth, died of natural causes in Miller’s Merry Manor, Culver, on Sunday, May 29, 2005, at 2:30 p.m. Marian was born in Plymouth on March 29, 1931. She was the daughter of Vern and Mabel M. Barber Dipert. She graduated from Plymouth High School in the class of 1949 and received an Associate’s Degree in Dietetics from Michigan State University.

Marian was a Dietetic Technician at Parkview Hospital and then, for 17 years, worked in housekeeping at Ancilla Domini’s Katherine Kasper Home in Donaldson. She retired in April of 1996.
