In Memorium Marion Gavin - August 26, 2014

Marion Gavin
Marion will be remembered by many . First and foremost she was the beloved companion of Jerry Anderson, a mother to 4 children and a grandmother to 9 grandchildren. 
Marion has resided at Palm Creek for 9+ years. Her home has been perfectly situated for pet walkers, neighbors, and fellow club members to stop and chat. 
Marion enjoyed playing Pickleball, Tennis, Water Volleyball and Horseshoes.   She had been a  tournament winner in both Pickleball and Tennis.  Google tells us, in 2010 Marion was also a raffle winner! For the past six years, Marion has been a bartender at Robson Ranch. In 2009 she organized a "Pasta Dinner" at Robson for club members, photos of this event can be found on this Blog in the "Pickleball Photo Album"
"Pasta Night".  
Marion will be missed at Palm Creek.  Our condolences to her family and loved ones.
