Marianne could be described as a woman who loved God with all of her heart, soul, mind and strength.  She prayed daily for those she loved, with great joy and concern.  She was a caring, loving mother to her children and a mother figure and mentor to her siblings.  She was the epitome of a loving counselor, guide and caregiver.  She had a gentle spirit and was always eager to listen to those around her.  One of the hallmarks of her life was that she always knew what to do = wisdom.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Joseph Gerber; an infant daughter, Mary Beth Elizabeth; and her husband, Kenneth Wayne Harms Sr.

Marianne is survived by her three daughters, Cindy Luginbill and her husband Jim, of Amarillo; Jeanne Velarde and her husband Nikki, of Amarillo; Lisa Henly and her husband Bill of Dallas; one son, K. Wayne Harms and his wife Jane Dunnewold of Kyle, Texas; six sisters, Gloria Arellano, Helen Rutland, Rosemary Heiselman, Delores Jackson, Margaret Drummond, and Barbara Jones; thirteen grandchildren: Keely Brown, Keats Luginbill, Haley Britten, Justin Martino-Harms, Jenny Harms Link, Lindsey Kaib, Joel McAfee, Rachel Harms Barker, Kami and Nicholas Velarde, Danyelle Hoedebeck, Grant and Billy Henly; and eighteen great grandchildren.
