Marian was appointed as Superintendent of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre District in 2013. “God has called
us and given us a new name – no longer Wyoming, we are now Susquehanna; no longer Wilkes-Barre
and Scranton, we are now Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. God has a plan. God is up to something! I can’t wait
to see what it is!” Marian enjoys the outdoors – hiking, biking, kayaking and skiing. A fan of many sports, she has been an
avid softball player and coach for many years. When her schedule permits, she plays volleyball and also
umpires Little League Baseball and Softball in all age levels. Her favorite sporting event of the year is the
Little League World Series.
