Marilyn Sage Mayne Obituary

La Jolla At the age of 91, Marilyn passed away peacefully with her sons by her side. Born in Oregon to Delburt and Tady Sage, she and younger brother Bill, had a happy childhood growing up on Lake Oswego. She graduated from the University of Oregon, where she majored and excelled in literature, while serving as president of her sorority Pi Beta Phi. Marilyn went on to marry and raise her family in La Jolla. During those years, she was a tireless parent and volunteer. Once her children had left the nest she began a new chapter of her life in Paris and Switzerland. Marilyn was, at times, a freelance writer, painter and photographer and maintained a life-long passion for skiing. She is survived by her three children, Reed, Joel and Bryn; two devoted daughter-in-laws, Gloria and Noelle; five loving grandchildren, Gloria, Alessandra, Sage, Reed and Pierce; and her former husband, Donald Mayne, with whom she remained close throughout her life.

Joel and family,

I was sad to read of your mom's passing in yesterday's LJ Light. Lake Oswego, La Jolla, Paris, Switzerland, pursuing her artistic yearnings and most of all, raising 3 wonderful children into productive, caring adults......Great job Mrs. Mayne!

May your mom's radiance and love continue to bless all of you forever!
