HENRIETTA/CANISTEO: Marion A. Campbell, 100, of Henrietta, formerly of Canisteo, passed away peacefully Sunday morning, December 10, 2017 at the home of her niece Virginia Merring in Henrietta.

 

Marion was born August 4, 1917 in Jasper, to the late Glenn and Roseltha (Stephens) Scribner.

 

Marion was formerly the clerk and treasurer for the Village of Canisteo for 37 years. Prior to being the village treasurer, she had worked for William Kellogg, former Steuben County Supervisor, as a secretary for 3 years in the Greenwood office.

Marion was a very energetic individual who was very active in her niece's life as well as her great-nephews. She went to the Senior Center every day and was constantly on the move, even driving at the age of 99. Her family was the joy of her life and she was theirs. She will be indescribably missed.
