Marian E. Wyman of Tavern Way in Hanson passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, June 24.

Marian was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts on June 3, 1929, daughter of Marion and Vernon Mathews. She grew up in Hanover and graduated from Hanover High School in 1947.

She married the love of her life, Les Wyman, in 1948 and they lived in California and Ohio before settling in Hanson and building their home and family.

Marian was an avid reader and loved gardening, traveling, and bird watching. She was a regular contributor to her husband's newspaper column, Grass Roots, as "Mrs. Garden Writer." She also loved spending time with her many grandchildren. She will be dearly missed.

Marian was a person who cared deeply for family and friends and never met a stranger twice, quick to make friends and strike up conversations wherever she went.

Marian is survived by her husband of almost 72 years, Lester "Bud" Wyman Jr. Surviving family includes her sister, Doris Mathews of Hanson; daughter Joanne Gauley and her husband Bill of West Buxton, Maine; son Philip Wyman and wife Jean of Hanson; daughter Nancy Hughes and her husband Rob of Meredith, New Hampshire; son Paul Wyman and his wife Winnie of Plymouth; daughter Karen Monahan and her husband Kevin of Newport, New Hampshire; along with 16 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

A funeral service is planned and will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Silver Lake Chapel in Kingston, Massachusetts.
