Marianne, also known as "Maw Maw Flower Shop" by her grandchildren, graduated from Floral Design School in Dallas, Texas in 1984. On October 15, 1984, she started Ikes Country Bouquet Florist with her mother, Geraldine in a shop in downtown Farmington. As the business grew, they moved to Hillsboro Road and were at that location for eight years. Upon the passing of Geraldine, the name was then shortened to Ikes Florist and moved to a location on Karsch Boulevard in 2011. Mari faithfully operated Ikes Florist for 39 years, until her illness forced her to give up the career she passionately ran. Mari was always a defender of the underdog, was a fierce protector of her family and adored her grandkids. She had a big heart who always gave to others in need. She also had a special place in her heart for the elderly. She was a dedicated supporter of the Farmington Elks Lodge. She enjoyed traveling, especially to the beach. She always looked forward to her annual trip every year on their anniversary which Kendall treated her to.
