Besides her parents and husband, Marianne was preceded in death by a son, Robert L. Roney; a grandson, Nicholas Roney; a granddaughter, Brooke Burkhardt; a sister, Inga Modric; and a daughter in law, Billie Jean Roney.  Marianne loved her family dearly and loved spending time with them and always came with German potato salad in hand.  She never passed on dinner out with whoever was willing to go. She loved the game of tennis and the friendships that she made with “The tennis girls” who she dearly loved. Traveling to the beach was one of her happy places sitting in her beach chair with a book looking out at the ocean. All her fur babies are going to miss the under the table treats that she always passed out.  A visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at Weber & Rodney Funeral Home in Edwardsville from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm.  A funeral service will follow at noon at the funeral home with Rev. Daniel Ervin officiating.  Interment will immediately follow at Sunset Hill Memorial Estates in Glen Carbon, IL. The family request memorials to Hospice of Southern Illinois or Partners 4 Pets.
