Maren Meyer Larson Falck

Born on July 31, 1945 in Salinas, Kansas, Maren grew up as the oldest of four children in a military family, and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1969.

A lifelong dancer, Maren attended Jacob’s Pillow in Lenox, MA and danced professionally in New York City before moving to Columbus, Ohio, where she raised her family. She became certified at the Laban Institute in NYC in Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals, and was a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique. Recently she completed her yoga teacher certification.

Maren moved to Marblehead, MA 16 years ago when she married her husband Erling. She was very active in the Marblehead community and served on the board of the Old Marblehead Improvement Association. With her husband, she enjoyed sailing out of the Eastern Yacht Club and driving their vintage autos with the Typ356ne Porsche Club.

Survivors include her husband Erling; her daughter Eliza Larson; her step-daughter Jami and her husband Jonathan Barry and their three children Olivia, Miles and Charlotte, of Marblehead, MA; her sister Betty and her husband Mike Russian, her brother John and his wife Helen Meyer, her brother George Meyer, and several nieces and nephews all of Bellevue, WA.

Following Maren’s wishes, no funeral services will be held. Instead, a celebration of Maren’s life is being planned by her family to be held later this summer. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made in her honor to the Peabody Essex Museum, East India Square, 116 Essex Street, Salem, MA 01970 Attn: Susan D. Lawrence.
