Former First Lady Marion Alden Dies

Marion Parson Alden, former Ohio University First Lady, died Thursday, August 26, after a lengthy battle with lymphoma. She was 70 years old.

Her husband, Vernon R. Alden, served as Ohio University's 15th president from 1962-69. During that time, she became nationally known and was featured in articles published in Time and Life magazines.

Her enthusiasm and support of the arts was recognized by several institutions which established entities carrying her name: the garden at the Japanese House in the Boston Children's Museum; the Marion Parson Alden Gallery in the Interior Design Department at Ohio University; the Southeast Asia Collection in the Vernon R. Alden Library at Ohio University; and the Fund for Visiting Artists at Ohio Wesleyan University. Marion and her husband established an endowed chair for the cello at the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

There will be a private interment on Martha's Vineyard. A memorial service will be held at the Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts at 10:30 a.m. on September 10.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Should you wish to send a remembrance or message of condolence to the family, please feel free to send an e-mail to unirel@www.ohiou.edu.
