Marian Pompei (Ewing) Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 21 to Dec. 23, 2012.
Marian Pompei (Ewing) passed away peacefully in Mill Valley on December 18 at the age of 89. Born April 29, 1923 in San Francisco, Marian graduated from Girls High School and worked at Roos Brothers in downtown San Francisco until she met and married Frank Pompei in 1946. In the same year, she and Frank opened their San Francisco restaurant, Pompei's Grotto, on Fisherman's Wharf. They moved to Mill Valley in 1954 to raise their daughter Nancy, where Marian was involved in many local clubs and organizations, including the Outdoor Art Club. She also continued to work side-by-side with Frank at the restaurant, and it gave her great joy in later years to watch her family continue the legacy. Predeceased by her husband Frank, Marian is survived by daughter and son-in-law Nancy and Gayne Conyers, grandchildren Amy Stornaiuolo (Vincenzo) and Tom Conyers (Keri), and great-grandchildren V.J. and Frankie Stornaiuolo and Kinley Conyers. The family will hold private services.

Marian and my mom, Ruth, were good friends at Aldersly Assisted Living for several years. She entertained everyone with her stories, and had such a quick wit — she was so funny! A really sweet gal, too, often talking lovingly about you, Nancy. She will be missed.
