Marion has devoted her life to helping others wherever she can. Over the years, she’s served as a prayer leader, retreat organizer, speaker, counselor, and chairwoman. When the Lord called her to “help heal the body of Christ,” she enrolled in a school for professional counseling. After earning her degrees, she began counseling in her local church and Christian counseling centers. In 2000, Marion and her husband, Charlie, moved to Arizona and combined their gifts of hospitality and counseling to offer a retreat center in their country home. They provided three-day retreats for individuals to receive personal ministry and hear God’s voice.

Marion and Charlie have been married for over 55 years. They have two adult children, six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Marion holds an M.A. in Counseling from National University, along with numerous certifications.
