Marianne Buchwalter

I had the pleasure of meeting Marianne when she lived in the South West of France. Her dynamism, curiosity, knowledge, empathy, and graciousness was infectious. The world is a lesser place without her.

Marianne. One of the coolest women I´ve ever met. So inspired by your life and style, forever grateful for your friendship. Love to family and friends, my condolences.

Oh Marianne, what an amazing and bright and intrepid woman! I am so grateful for the time we had together, she was a constant source of inspiration and good humor and enjoyment over these last years of Gyrokinesis class together. I brag about her all the time--she persisted in showing up to class, no matter the obstacles. I send much love and heartfelt condolences to her family--may your love for her and hers for you carry you through this profound loss. What an amazing spirit, I miss her.

We will all miss Marianne - was she the last of our mother's still living? Her excellent obit gives a picture that most of us probably were not aware of: what an incredible life she led, from fleeing the Nazi's to her remarkable academic and professional achievements; her greatest one of all - the 4 terrific children she raised so well with Fred. Not to mention her support and service to the artistic and musical community that was so important to her, the love for which she imbued in her...

I will always look up to Marianne as an exemplary human being. She was a source of joy in my life. Just being around her was a comfort.

After many conversations with Julie about her mother and my father who both lived in Portland, I recall a long, lovely conversation with Marianne at Lucy's Bat Mitzvah celebration. To her family, may your grief be gentle in the knowledge that she lived a full, joyous and meaningful life, and experienced your love.

May her family be consoled by her legacy and example. May her memory be a blessing among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Goodbye partner.. Ron

So many lovely memories of good times with Marianne ... a loyal friend to so many...I will miss her.
