Marian is survived by her sons Michael S. Martin, with whom she resided; Chester Zeigler Jr. of Windsor; and James (Bonnie) Zeigler of Windsor. She is also survived by five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Additionally, she leaves behind her brother, Merle Martin Jr.; sisters, Beth Martin Breen and Micaela "Mickey" Martin Eicherly; and many nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Lana Martin; brothers, Gary and Bruce Martin; and sisters, Hazel Martin Gembe and Brenda Martin Bowman Lewis.
