Marie Anne Garland: March 17, 1948 to December 21, 2017. Marianne was born in the Netherlands to Harry and Dorothea. A bit later she had to share her parents with her two sisters Johanna and Thea. It became clear after we moved to the United States that Marianne was quite a musical talent. She played the flute, piano, and the guitar and graduated from Hofstra in music. However, her kindness led her to get her Masters from Stony Brook and she became a social worker for BOCES. She became a loving aunt to twins Morgan and Ian. She filled their childhood with stories, books and music. Marianne also fell in love with Jack who shared her love for music. We are blessed because Marianne so readily shared her love, humor, and talents with us. You will be missed Marianne and we will love you forever. Your new life will bring you peace.
