Dowling Park, Florida - Marian Lee Stauffer, née Bailey, was born on Oct. 5, 1940. She peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 29, 2026, at Advent Christian Village in Dowling Park, Fla., surrounded by her loving family. After a courageous and heroic battle with blood cancer, Marian fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.

She was the beloved daughter of Dallas W. Bailey and Evelyn Ellen (Mull) Bailey. Marian graduated from Selinsgrove ASD in 1958. On June 5, 1959, she married J. Ronald Stauffer. Together, they managed a motel in California and owned and operated several businesses, including the Lewisburg Tastee Freez and Grandpa Grunts Eatery in Selinsgrove, as well as various ventures in Florida.

Marian is survived by her brother, Robert Bailey; her three daughters, Lori Dersham, Leann Harmon and Leslie Mandody; six grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

Her family found a touching note on the first page of her Bible where Marian had written, "I want to be cremated. It's my last chance for a smokin' hot body!" This message brought smiles to the faces of her grieving family, reflecting Marian's enduring spirit and the joy she brought to others with her smile.

She will be deeply missed but fondly remembered for her strength, faith, and the warmth she shared with everyone around her.
