Marian A. Calvert
June 10, 1918 — December 6, 2014
Marian A. Calvert, a Christian woman with a never ending smile, passed away at 12:22 a.m. on Saturday December 6, 2014 at Pilgrim Manor, Plymouth she was 96 years old. A longtime resident of Marshall County, Marian formerly resided on Vine Street in Tyner.
Born in Detroit, Michigan on June 10, 1918, Marian was the daughter of Leonard and Bessie L. Myers. She graduated high school and attended two years of business school in Detroit.
In October of 1950, Marian wed James Matthews in Detroit. The couple would then move to Plymouth. James would precede her in death.
Marian worked as an office purchasing assistant for Champion Homes in Bremen, and then as a sales clerk for Bosworth’s. She would retire in 1989.
On April 16, 1977, in the Trinity United Methodist Church, the Rev. William Nangle united Marian and Eugene B. “Gene” Calvert in marriage. He would precede her in death on January 9, 2001.
She and Gene spent many hours beside a river bank enjoying the company of singing birds and listening to the sound of running water. They appreciated nature, and floating down river in their flat-bottomed boat gave them much pleasure together. Together they attended the Plymouth Wesleyan Church and more recently Marian worshiped at the Tyner United Methodist Church.
Marian was gifted at crafting, painting landscapes and nature scenes as well as cross-stitch. She also enjoyed working and framing jigsaw puzzles.
