Marian has a daughter in high school and two rambunctious (if old) Great Dane dogs roaming around her house. Marian was an avid Great Dane exhibitor for more than a decade and has a passion for the breed. In fact, she admits to almost be a “crazy cat lady” for Great Danes. She sat on the board of the Great Dane Club of Western Washington and has been involved with the Dane Outreach Program focusing on fostering and assisting troubled Great Danes. She was also a cheerful Cub Scout leader.

When not working, Marian enjoys spending time with her daughter and playing with the dogs. Make sure to stop by and say hi to Marian in the Loan Department and congratulate her on her new role at Great NorthWest Federal Credit Union.
