MARLER -- Annie V. Marler, 83, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 14, 2010 after many challenges with failing health. She is survived by son Leon Marler and wife Arlyn, and son Patrick Olaechea and wife Melinda: grandchildren Shane Marler and wife Becky, Shey Marler and wife Tamara, Calyn Ogie, Brian Olaechea, Andrea Olaechea, Jace Marler, Jill Veitch and husband Mark, Jody Marler and Chad Zipp; and great-grandchildren: Avery, Allison, Meghan and Greg. Annie was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, Leon P. Marler. Loving, helpful and giving doesn't begin to describe Annie's journey throughout her life. Born December 1, 1926 in Thoreau, NM, Annie began her life of giving by caring for her horses and all of God's creatures on the ranch. She was an accomplished horse woman, basketball player for Grants High School, "Ranch Hand" and aspiring pilot. Annie moved to Taos in 1988 to manage an insurance agency after working for Consolidated Agency for 30+ years. She volunteered at a rape counseling center, worked with underprivileged children in learn-to-read programs, volunteered for numerous charities and, most importantly, became a Secular Franciscan. We know you are at peace in the arms of the Lord. We miss you mom, grandma and "Great Grannie Annie".
