Marion Elizabeth Gorman, 84, Hollidaysburg, passed into Heaven Saturday at Presbyterian Village at Hollidaysburg.
She was born in Rockford, Ill., daughter of the late Carl Olaf and Elizabeth Mable (Maas) Larson. On June 25, 1960, she married James Leroy Gorman Sr. in Rockford, Ill.
She is survived by her children: Gregory Gorman and wife, Winona, of Hollidaysburg; James Gorman Jr. and wife, Gayle, of Front Royal, Va.; Kristina MacIntyre and husband, James, of Alum Bank; Benjamin Gorman and wife, Misty, of Johnstown; Matthew Gorman and wife, Jessica, of Sykesville, Md.; grandchildren: Megan, Rebecca, Heather, Amanda, Erika, Andrew, Jonathan, Jessica, Alyssa, Erin, Michael, James, Phillip, Devin, Kaitlin, Colin, Conner, Calvin, Marcus and Nathan; many great-grandchildren; and a sister, Patricia Spencer.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, James; and a daughter, Joan (Gorman) Wanner.
Marion deeply cherished time with her family and friends, always intentionally making those around her feel loved and seen.
She found beauty in everyday life and expressed it through writing, gardening, music and scrapbooking. She organized many beloved "Cousins Camps," sang in the church choir and was a published author of magazine articles and devotionals. A woman of faith, she loved the Lord and gratefully shared how blessed she felt. Marion had a sweet tooth -- ice cream was often her favorite -- and a joyful spirit that shone through everything she did. She will be greatly missed!
Friends and family will be received from 9 a.m. until the hour of the funeral service at noon Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, at Tulls Hill Bible Church, Bedford, Pastor Steve Corbett officiating.
Interment will be at the Cuppett Cemetery, New Paris.
