MARION HAYTH, 94 of Vero Beach entered eternal life on Monday, June 30, 2014.

Marion is a graduate of Babylon High School in NY. She went on to work in the Babylon High School System. Marion was involved in many community activities in NY, including the Babylon Fire Department (Argyle Hose Co.). Marion’s big heart and larger than life personality was fueled by her love of sweets.
