Marilyn Jean (Kalney) Hooper Passed away on September 13, 2010 at the age of 72 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in San Francisco on March 28, 1938, Marilyn was a long time resident of Novato in Marin County where she raised her family and worked. This year Marilyn and her husband Dave celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Though the celebration was subdued due to Marilyn's illness, their love and commitment for each other was evident throughout her fight with cancer. Their relationship has always been an inspiration to those who knew them. Marilyn graduated with the class of 1956 at St. Paul's High School in San Francisco and remained part of the alumni association. Marilyn worked many years for the County of Marin, and was very active with her favorite groups: Novato Hostess Club, Marin County Association of Retired Employees, and the Red Hats. Marilyn and Dave loved to travel and especially enjoyed their time in Australia and New Zealand. Marilyn enjoyed playing bridge at Rolling Hills Country Club and with several other clubs and gardening around her home. Marilyn especially enjoyed having her family together to celebrate any and all occasions and to cook and enjoy each other's company. One of Marilyn's favorite pastimes was to buy cookbooks and read them. Today, she has a significant collection. Marilyn is survived by her husband, Dave; children David (Karen), Pamela Eger (John), and Deborah DeMars; and grandchildren Justin, Travis, Kelsey, Katherine, and John; as well as many close friends and relatives. Friends may visit after 1:00 PM at Keaton's Redwood Chapel at 1801 Novato Blvd., on Sunday, September 19th with a Rosary beginning at 2:30 PM.
