Marian was born on March 4, the daughter of Florence and Albert Brandt. She was married to her beloved Leslie Meyer, who passed away in 1997. They happily raised three sons together.

Marian was a gracious pillar of her family and community. She started working as a teller at the Blue Grass Bank when she was 16 and retired when she was 84. Among her many pursuits, she helped her husband run Meyer’s Grocery, served as an officer of the Blue Grass American Legion Auxiliary, worked for the Blue Grass school, and started a sewing partnership, Mayne Lane Stitchers. She was always joyfully and judiciously making and baking things, gardening, playing cards with conviction, and giving generously of her time and spirit.

Marian will be forever remembered by her three sons, Ed (Cathy) of Taylor Ridge, IL, David (Tamara) of Berkeley, CA and Larry (Sue) of Davenport, IA; 6 grandchildren, Brad (Christina), Kurt, Audi (John), Emily (Brandon), Scott (Nikki), Alison (Andrew); eleven great grandchildren, a sister, Delorus Bockwoldt, and many treasured nieces and nephews.

Marian was preceded in death by her husband, Les Meyer, a WWII veteran, along with her sister, Ardell (Glen) Moeller, and brothers Earl (Pat) Brandt and Bob (Marilyn) Brandt. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Blue Grass American Legion Auxiliary, Post #711.
