Marion grew up on Oshkosh’s west side. She spent her youth helping raise her younger siblings when she wasn’t swimming at the West Side Bathing Beach or playing at Mary Jewel and Rainbow Parks. Winters were spent ice skating on Sawyer Creek.

She then relocated to Ft. Myers, Florida where she worked at the Sundial on Sanibel Island. It was there where she met Tom Kalsky who took her to New York City and married her at the Tavern on the Green. They spent the next decade enjoying the sights and sounds of the New York City lifestyle.
Marion and Tom then retired to Ft. Myers, Florida spending the next fifteen years playing golf and kicking back on the beach at the Lani Kai on Ft. Myers Beach.
