Marianne Ware's obituary
Marianne
Ware passed away on June 21, 2010 at the age of 74. Marianne moved to
Guerneville with her husband and three daughters in 1969. She organized
and energized numerous creative writing groups over the years, was a
co-founder of the Russian River Writer's Guild, and produced several
volumes of poetry and prose of her own. She shared her love of writing,
along with her enthusiasm and irreverent sense of humor with generations
of students over her 21 years as an English teacher at SRJC. The only
things she loved more than a good book or a beautifully written poem
were her seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her lively wit
and gift with words lives on in them. Marianne will be greatly missed
by her husband of 55 years, David; daughters, Laurie Celli, Wendy
Whitson, and Carrie Ware-Kawamoto; grandchildren, Angelo, Vincent,
Nicholas, Gabriel, Rosemary, Mia, and Carly; and great-grand children,
Sofia and Dylan. A memorial service celebrating her life will be held
July 24, 2010 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Sebastopol Community
Center Youth Annex, 390 Morris Street, Sebastopol.
