I'm surprised that I haven't seen a post here yet, but a couple days ago Ann posted to facebook that Marnie Parker passed away. I expect that most folks are on both, but probably some of you aren't.

I only met her a couple of times, and I know that things got a bit rough for her the past few years.

That's really sad. She's been absent from Facebook for several months
and I felt that some mishap had occurred to her. Thanks for letting us
know, Larry.

Thanks for the note, Larry. I haven't been on Fb for years, so I rarely
receive current news like this.

Marnie was a valued member of The List for many years and always
accepted my gentle ribbing on the state of her inbox with grace. Meeting
her at GFM was certainly a high point of my tenure. I'll raise a glass
to her, and encourage you all to do the same.

Thank you, Larry, for letting us know. Marnie was a good person; I met her several times and we always got on.

Godspeed, Marnie!!

AKA Doe, iirc. Never met but always found her to be a thoroughly pleasant person. Sad to hear she is gone.
