Marianne Harrell Wellborn, 98, of Davidson, NC passed away on March 19, 2021 at her home in William’s Place. Marianne was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. She graduated from high school in Cuero, Texas. She moved to Harlingen, Texas in 1941 to manage the credit department at Montgomery Ward. Over the years she also worked at the Wellborn Piano Company, the Levy - Carvin Advertising Agency, Neiman Marcus and the IRS. While in Harlingen, she went on a double date / blind date.
