Marianne's love of flowers, bees and the natural world earned her the nickname, Wild Honey. In addition to creating poems and stories, she also creates floral designs and volunteered for over a decade as director of the Flower Guild at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Seattle. She is a performer of Appalachian clog dance, modern lyrical dance and liturgical dance and enjoys traveling with her family.
