Marianne Gowen Obituary

Marianne was a very special co-worker during my years at Catholic Social Services from 1987-2009. I always appreciated her wit and wisdom. I loved to come to the Lawrence office to experience her energy. She was an amazing clinician and did excellent therapy with her clients. When I supervised her, I always learned from her experiences. My condolences to her children and extended family. She was so proud of the accomplishments of her children. I believe she is planting flowers in heaven today.

Reading Marianne's obituary brought back the many times we were able to visit and share conversations. She was a wonderful sister-in-law. My condolences to Paul, Annie, Maureen and Matthew.

To the family of Marianne,

I was so disappointed to hear about the loss of your mother. She was indeed a multi-talented lady and a wonderful friend. I will certainly miss her!

Aunt Marianne was a beautiful, sweet lady that we didnt get to spend enough time with. As a little girl I always remember that she smoked cigarettes from a long cigarette holder, she always looked so glamorous. God Bless.

Dear Maureen and family,
I always thought your mother was a lovely woman--and admired how long she kept active in her work and calling. She clearly lived a full and meaningful life. Dick and I send condolences and love to you at this time. Barbara and Dick Schowen
