Marianne P. Kalvelage

Marianne P. Kalvelage , 91 , of Washington,  passed away Friday, September 17, 2021 with her family by her side. She was born on February 4, 1930 in Evanston, IL, to the late Louis Park and Mary Christopher.

Mrs. Kalvelage loved to read science fiction and biographies, listen to Broadway music, sing, play games on her iPad and talk with her children and grandchildren on the phone.  Her other loves were scratch-off lottery tickets, antiquing, Star Trek, Harry Potter, binge-watching Netflix, eating out and white zinfandel. Her wicked sense of humor was well-known and stayed with her until the end.  Memorials may be made to the Elementary Vocal Music Program at St. Francis Borgia Grade School, 225 Cedar Street, Washington, MO.
