She later went on to earn a Master's degree from Pepperdine University.
Marian was a high school teacher for 38 years and part of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District for over 50 years. As a teacher, she had many lifelong friends, and as a testament fellow teachers and former students' admiration of her, many kept in contact to this day.
Living in Mission Viejo in retirement, she had many friends and was an active member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.), the Bead Society of Orange County. She was also a long-time docent at the Bowers Museum.
Marian was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Nancy L. Farber-Pena and survived by her son Stuart L. Farber Jr., daughter in-law Jane and grandchildren Dean and Ellie Farber. Family services are tentatively planned for the spring of 2026.
