heidi, miss you we had some great times together. love,marv

I was a student of Heidi's in the late 1970's at People's School # One on Wallingford in Seattle, she taught me so much.

Mrs. Marier was a real gem.

She helped students who weren't artistic discover they had the ability to make art. She was unfailingly positive. She was one of the best teachers I ever had, at any level.

I had her as my art teacher at Queen Anne High in the early 1970s and she was one of the bright lights at that school, even though her class/studio was tucked into a corner of the basement level. It was a warm refuge for many students.

I now realize she was about 30 when...

Heidi,WiLL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. AlWAYS, MARV

I was very blessed to have had your class whilst a freshman at Ballard. Unfortunately I squandered the chance to really learn something and to keep taking your class. You were the easiest teacher to talk to and I will always remember this. I can honestly say that I still have a few of those projects from class, albeit stored somewhere, to remind me of fun times during turbulent moments.

My deepest condolences to the Marier family. Ms. Marier was the ideal role model for what every teacher should strive to be. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for thousands of kids in Seattle. I had the honor of running into once as an adult, and she was busy dancing! BHS c/o '91

Mrs. Marier - thank you for everything you selflessly gave to all of us. I was lucky to spend all 8 semesters of my high school life under your wing in your classroom. The love kindness and generosity you showed each of us is a blessing and gift I will always hold dear and cherish. The mark you made on my young life will last for eternity and I will remember our time together forever.
I wish I could be there to celebrate your beauty and grace with you and your family on Saturday. I will...

Mrs Marier was an excellent teacher and the two ceramics classes I took from her were my favorite classes. She taught people to really look at art and then gave them the courage to use their imagination and make things.

Ms. Marier was a genuinely open and kind hearted person. I took her ceramics class during my senior year at Ballard High. I loved her and loved being in her class. My main regret is that I discovered her in my final year of high school and didn't take her class all four years. She taught me a lot, and not just about ceramics. I have thought of her often since high school and hold on to many wonderful memories of her. I am a high school teacher myself now and think of Ms. Marier as an ideal...
