In 1954 she and her husband moved to Albuquerque, NM where they both worked for Sandia Labs. Louis and Maria were devout members of Our Lady of the Annunciation Church. They watched the church expand and grow through the years. Louis died in 1997. Marian married Charles Moorman in 1999. They traveled the world until 2008 when Charles died. Marian was a joy to be around with her zest for life and fantastic mind. She truly lived her life well and fully. She will be missed by all who knew her.
