Nov. 26, 1925 April 17, 2014
Marge Adrian passed away Thursday, April 17 at the age of 88 with her family at her side. She was born Marjorie Rosemary Holmes on Nov. 26, 1925 in Oakland. She lived there until she met our dad, Arthur George Adrian, at UC Berkeley. They married Dec. 1, 1946 and she moved to the "country" in Escalon.
Marge loved life, one could hear her humming away in whatever she was doing. Dad and mom traveled extensively after retirement. Both were members of Grace Lutheran Church, and faithful 49er fans. Talent followed her from playing the organ, to gardening, oil painting, stained glass making and tole painting. Best of all was her famous green onion dip and potato salad that she brought to all family gatherings.
Preceded in death by her husband, Arthur George Adrian (they were married 52 years), and her parents, Joseph and Carrie Holmes.
She is survived by her children, Paul (Theresa), Scott (Anne) and Kim; five grandchildren, Shane (Denis), Donovan (Rachel), Matt (Cristen), Jefferson (Stephanie), and Leah (James); in addition there are four great-grandchildren, Jackson, Madeleine, Harvey and Blake. Plus many, many friends.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Deegan Funeral Chapel, a service will be held Friday, April 25, at 2 p.m., at Grace Lutheran Church in Modesto. A celebration will follow at the Escalon Sportmans Club. The family asks that remembrances be made to your favorite charity.
