Interesting indeed.

Alternative - Marion is FATED to die (she has cheated death (inadvertently) by being taken to Storybrooke by Emma) so it was just one more opportunity for the scales of life/death to balance out that Auntie Vanilla cursed Marion (Auntie Vanilla had ample opportunities to curse other customers... Leroy, Roland and/or Robin). auntie vanilla? that's what her storybrooke counterpart is called? interesting... minor add on to your theory, it is likely that she was there for the entirety of the dark curse, and just waited until a sign appeared that elsa was there (ice wall and monster, and she waited because she has a past with elsa) and through all that time, every person that ever went into the icecream shop since magic was restored, and given how the characters you listed have gone into the shop in that one episode, it is visited often and her opportunities were massive. also, about that "fated to die" thing, maybe that's why regina had trouble getting marian's heart out, because that would stop her death
