A Eulogy for Marian Sanders



Marian St Clair Sanders, the woman that everyone has come to know and love, passed gently on August 1 2008. This blog is to her, and her life, the people she knew and loved, and the things that she accomplished. But, most importantly, the most integral part of all of her life, the accomplishment of raising her children, Sharon, Peggi, Rian and Kevin.

Most of us mirror ourselves in our offspring, those that carry on our legacy and continue on with the family. That meant a great deal to Marian Sanders. It also meant so much to her to dig diligently into the past for information on this wonderful family. She didn’t look online for genealogy, but rather wrote questioning letters, went to the libraries, and telephoned people to get any information she could, to piece together a family puzzle that many of us will treasure for generations to come.

She had a spunky, vivacious tenacity that many of you remember well, and will cherish as you recall memories of her. We thank all of you for your warm thoughts and prayers. We would like to know that all these thoughts and prayers speeded her through a difficult time, and she was able to fall asleep peacefully in her own home, in her own time.

She took time for her interest that we have spoken about often. Her beliefs, her wishes, wishes for her children and family members. She will be greatly missed by us all. She will be truly loved by all who knew her. A wonderful woman will be remembered and respected in our memories. A special beautiful woman, inside and out.

*God speed Marian St Clair Sanders*
