While in high school, Marianne met her sweetheart Michael Webster and the couple were united in marriage on July 12, 1975 in Milwaukee. They were blessed with 38 years of marriage and four children. After spending the early years of their marriage in Milwaukee, Marianne and Michael moved to Wisconsin Rapids where they raised their family. Marianne was employed in various positions with Wood County and later was employed as a customer service representative with Wood County Telephone Company. Marianne was a very talented artist who loved doing oil paintings on canvas. She also had a love of photography and music and played djimbe (African drums).
