I *think* Marnie is Jessie Marion, my mother can verify this when she gets a minute. It was confusing to me as a child because my mother would refer to Aunt Mernie (Gram’s sister) and Aunt Marnie (Gram’s aunt). I still call my aunts Aunt Ruth and Aunt Ginny, and I could see where my daughter could get confused as well, because they aren’t her aunts. But, we also have several friends who are addressed as Auntie So-and-so, so it makes life even more fun.
