Lori and family:
I will always see her wonderful smile and pleasant disposition as I looked forward to paying my taxes. It was worth the 'price of admission'. Also, how she got her 'dream' fulfilled upon retirement from the Town by being the plow guy's wing man for the day! She is a great lady and I am a better person for having known her!

Peace and comfort to you and your whole family.

June, April, Lori & Mary Jane,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Your mom was one of a kind! Her warm welcome and smile, with that her bounce in her step, and those wonderful CAKES she baked will be so missed. She was so threaded in this community for so many years, there isn't a corner of Skaneateles that she hadn't touched or people she didn't know. The community, and those who knew her, became better people because of her. My deepest sympathy and love to all.

Sue

Marion was my Mom's best friend (Isabelle Wilcox) and I remember Mrs. Lear as a sweet and friendly person...someone my Mom always had good things to say about. My Mom passed in 2013 and I know she is happy to see Marion. Sending prayers to the entire Lear family.

Marion was amazing. She was integral to the core of our community. She was connected to absolutely everyone. She was selfless and generous. She gave and gave from her heart with that gorgeous smile. I believe she came from the pages of the Bible. We will know we are in Heaven when we see her next. She was a one in a billion girl.
