Marji Klieman-Peterson

Margi was one of the most comfortable people I have ever met, and she and I shared a love of reading, that only other readers understand, and I am truly grateful she exposed me to some of her favorite authors who often opened up my eyes to particular issues ... something she loved to to do! However, my favorite memory of Marji was the very first time I met her beautiful daughters. I was hosting an Easter lunch, (probably running behind,) but the next thing I know, the girls started helping set the table ... but it was how they did it that left such an unforgettable experience... it was the laughing, singing, dancing and the unadulterated joy they all shared by just being together, and I remember thinking what a remarkable woman their mother must be to produce such wonderful humans. That was Marji's gift - she brought out the best in people, whether it was her own family or a stranger she'd met five minutes ago. She made the world a better place by her presence and I know she will be missed by so many. Rest in peace sweet woman, your legacy lives strong.

Marji was a special person, and very special to me during the 5 years we were together! She was very caring and we shared a number of experiences in our time! I am so grateful to her, as she coached me on how to better communicate with my kids when there were relationship crisis. The end of our relationship was amicable and, though we haven´t spoken for a while I will still miss her and her presence on this earth! Rest in peace sweet Marji!

I will always remember how when we were young I looked up to her as the smart sophisticated so political sister. She always brought cute guys to our house and I learned what a crush was (). Every election she was ALL in (McGovern 72!). She helped me "win" VP at my elementary school by showing me how to make posters and give a good speech. She took me to my first concert when I was 14 (Rod Stewart- ), she took me with her on a trip to England with her British husband when I was 18. When that husband passed she inherited $$ and gave each of her siblings $500 "just cuz". She was a protective loving big sister who showed me how to be a responsible citizen of the world. I will miss her so much. Rest in peace my dear sister.

I remember one time, Marji came into the office in a hurry, coffee in hand. She sat down for a quick chat by my desk, and while speaking and using her hands to express herself, she knocked her coffee all over the desk. We were hysterical laughing like fools. She always knew when I needed a good laugh.

Marji was a memorable woman. She would guide me in vonnected conversation I would cherish with her on days I picked up Emilee from tgeir Visalia house to go hang out and cause ruckus! . She was a guiding voice for me as a young wwife with step children.
