Campana, Jr., her mother and step father Ellen and Zacharius (Lolo Popeye) Rosario and her brothers Ciry Ramirez, Sr. and Jan Ramirez. She passed away peacefully on November 29, 2025 in Vallejo, CA with her loving family by her bedside. Marian and Bert were married on September 14, 1956. They had 5 children: Bert, Jr. (dec.) (Ellen Rose), Ellen (Leroy) Maestas, Rick (Margaret), Eddie (Tamara) and Kathy (Felix) Guevara. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren: L.J. Maestas, Jenica (La'Marcos) Maestas, Jessica (Ramon) Villanueva, Berto (Dasha) Campana, Alysia (Wayne) McCalley, Jennifer (Tim) Guertin, Breanna Maestas, C.J.

Foreman, Jo'Sani Maestas, Leo Foreman and La'Marcia Rayford; and 1 great-great granddaughter Aalani McCalley. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews. Marian grew up in Chicago, IL and attended an all-girls catholic school where she was a member of the choir. She met her husband Bert there who was serving in the U.S. Navy. After they married, they moved to Portsmouth VA where he was stationed. Since Bert was out to sea the majority of the time Marian was taking care of her 5 children on her own as the Navy brought them to Rhode Island, back to Virginia and finally to San Francisco, California where Bert retired after serving 26 years. They then moved their family to American Canyon, CA in 1973. As the children got older, Marian worked at Bank of America both on Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard and in Vallejo, CA. She decided to end her career with Bank of America to become a full time grandma, starting with her first grandchild L.J. Throughout the years she continued to watch all of her grandchildren at one time or another. Family meant everything to her! Marian was a very loving and caring mom, grandma, Lola, great-grandma and great-great grandma. She never hesitated helping anyone in the family that was in need. She would attend her local senior center where she loved going to the lunches, field trips; in addition to the exercise and dance classes. She also loved to travel the world with her good friend Maggie Green. Together they visited Italy, China, Alaska, and Europe; just to name a few. One of her favorite things she loved with a passion was reading. She was lucky enough to have a book mobile that parked on the side of her house for many years. This was something she looked forward to going to weekly; even taking her grandkids there as well. After the book mobile closed, she started collecting her own books. Her collection has grown to well over a thousand; which she proudly displayed on the many book shelves she has throughout her house. We are so thankful for her and were blessed to have her on this earth for over 91 years; we all will miss her so much. Although our hearts are broken, it is comforting to know that she is reunited with her husband, son, mother and brothers. Her final resting place will be at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon with her beloved husband. Sleep well mom, you will forever be in our hearts.
