Maryanne Kirk Currier
August 23, 1945 – September 26, 2017

Maryanne Kirk Currier passed away September 26 after a five-month battle with esophageal
cancer. Maryanne was born in Fresno and was raised in Napa, CA, and attended high school
at St. Vincent’s High School in Vallejo. In her youth Maryanne was an accomplished
synchronized swimmer and her Napa team swam in the 1960 Olympics in Rome in an attempt
to gain Olympic status for the sport.

Maryanne taught high school English and Art for over 35 years in the Antioch, CA School
District. Upon retirement, Maryanne lived in Bellevue, WA and then moved to Prosser, WA
where she resided for the last nine years. She was a member of the Black Rock Creek Golf
Club, where she spearheaded a clubhouse renovation and landscaping upgrade. Maryanne
could be found at the golf course most days of the week. She also worked in interior design and
the art of dried floral arrangements, specializing in the creation of elegant Christmas trees.

Maryanne was preceded in death by her mother and father, Betty and Al Kirk of Napa. She is
survived by her brothers Bud (Albert) and his wife, Hope of Fresno, Leo and his wife Linda of
Prosser, WA, and Br. Joe Kirk, F.S.C., of San Francisco and sisters Patty and her husband
Larry Galloway of Bellevue, WA, June of Antioch, and numerous nieces and nephews and
great-nieces and nephews. The family will be holding a private funeral service in Napa later this
year.
