Marion and her family moved to Wellington in 1993 after they lost their brand new home in Miami’s Hurricane Andrew. Marion was very interested in the Wellington Community very early on in its incorporation. She ran for Village Council and lost, but acquired a great education in local politics.

For the past 12 years, Marion is the Practice Manager for a small, independent Anesthesia practice in West Palm Beach. She has seen many changes in healthcare recently, most are not conducive to the doctor-patient relationship, so she became the National Co-Chair for a grassroots group of doctors from all around the country that are fighting to restore the doctor-patient relationship and keep insurance companies and the government out of the decisions.
