\t\t\tMarion Olive Mettler \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Marion was born in Shafter, CA and grew up on an 80 acre farm with her parents and younger brother, where she spent time drawing, reading in her favorite tree, and trying to convince her father to let the barn cats into the house and onto her lap! She went to college at Pomona and later traveled the world, married a man she met in an art museum, lived in Paris and Italy, and eventually divorced. Marion had many successful years as an editor in publishing, and lived in her house in La Jolla for fifty years, with many cats whom she adored over the years, Olly being her most special. She enjoyed and supported local music, art, and theater. She took and taught art classes at the Atheneum and the Water Color Society, wrote, and continued her European travel.<\/p>\n
Marion was an accomplished artist, displaying, selling, and winning awards over the years. In lieu of a service, Marion\u2019s family will be displaying and donating her beautiful art, so that as she wished, it would end up being loved and appreciated on someone\u2019s wall. Her tribute is Saturday May 16 from 3-5 pm. Text or call 360-969-2401 for address information.<\/p>\n
Marion is survived by her \u201clittle brother\u201d Ken, niece Amanda, niece Samantha, and nephew David, many grand-nieces and nephews, and of course, her final kitty, a grey Main Coon, Smokey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marion Olive Mettler OBITUARY Marion was born in Shafter, CA and grew up on an 80 acre farm…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":797699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-797698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-san-diego","12":"tag-sandiego","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/797699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=797698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=797698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
