Marianne lived all her life in Texas. She grew up in the Oklahoma Flats, Littlefield, West Texas. She attended William Woods University for one year prior to attending West Texas State University in Canyon, where she met Harold O. Pool Jr. and married in 1949. She spent most of her life in Plainview and Dallas/Ft. Worth, where she raised her four children. She worked at General Electric in Dallas, Pioneer and McNair Seed Companies in Plainview, and retired from DeVry Institute in Irving as an Administrative Assistant in 2006. She later resided at Vista Ridge Nursing Home in Lewisville. She was one of two children born to the late Aaron and Juanita Gray. She is survived by sons Robert Pool and wife Linda Pool, James Pool and wife Carol Pool, and Truett Pool and partner Brent Milburn, and predeceased by daughter Julianne Eddington and sister Beth Pilliod. She has three grandchildren, Desiree Pool, Casey Gibbs and wife Kate Gibbs, and Chase Pool and wife Jana Pool. Great-grandchildren are Jackson Grisso, Maddox Pool, and Truett Gibbs. Marianne's lifelong devotion was to her family and children, whom she adored and spent years of enjoyment babysitting. She was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan who never missed a game. She was also a remarkable cook who made her specialties differently each time, so her children could never get her secret recipes quite right. Marianne enjoyed music and some of her favorite times were the 80s, often spending weekends dancing with friends and family. Her sharp sense of humor and sassy independence will be missed by many. Visitation will be from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015, at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Colleyville, Texas.
