Marianne Barde Sconce
Sconce, Marianne Barde 69 Dec. 28, 1943 Feb. 12, 2013 What a beautiful lady we have lost. Marianne Barde Sconce passed away Feb. 12, 2013, at home from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Marianne was born Dec. 25, 1943, to Stanley and Bonnie Elmgren. Born and raised in Portland, she attended West Sylvan Grade School and was a 1962 graduate of Sunset High School. In 1962 she was a member of the "Miss Raindrop Court," sponsored by the Portland Rainmakers. In 1966 Marianne started her working career at Deluxe Check Printers in Beaverton, Ore. She remained with Deluxe retiring as a Customer Service Representative in 1996 after 30 years of service. While working at Deluxe her beautiful smile and positive attitude were appreciated by all of her fellow workers. Known as Mare, she often said she had two families, her family at home and her family at work with many of her coworkers becoming lifelong friends. After retiring, Marianne settled into the home life with her dogs by her side still missing that part of her life she retired from. As a single girl in 1976, she purchased her first house and her interior decorating talents came alive. On Oct. 3, 1982, Marianne and Robb Sconce were married, celebrating their 30th anniversary together this past October. Always having a dog as a companion since her childhood, she and Robb raised five during their 40 years together. In 2000, she found her dream house on Bull Mountain in Tigard, and it was here she was most happy and content, being the "house boss," and helping Robb with his construction company. When one thinks of Marianne, they think of that smile. She had the most beautiful smile. A smile that would light up a room, that was larger than life, and that just made you feel good. She had such a bubbly personality. She loved her quiet times at home, her vast music collection, trips to the ocean, decorating her house, loving her dogs and husband, her glass of wine, her pizza and steak, tending to her flowers, chocolate, and cooking holiday meals for friends and family. In August 2011, Marianne was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. With her health gradually deteriorating over the months, she entered into Providence Hospice case in September of 2012. As she wished, she was able to remain at home during the duration of her illness. With Baylee, her beloved Bichon Frise and husband Robb by her side, she peacefully passed away without a struggle at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 12, 2013. Robb wishes to thank Providence Hospice for all of the help provided to Marianne. Also a special thank you to Hospice nurse Kristi, Hospice personal attendant Kristi, and in-home caregiver Yerem for the fantastic care given to Marianne by them. Marianne is survived by her husband, Robb Sconce of Tigard; sisters, Jeanette, Susanne and Beverly; brother in-law, Skip Sconce; nephew, John Sconce; and niece, Jennifer Weldon. A private service was held Feb. 21, 2013. Interment is at Finley-Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Portland. A celebration of life will be held in early spring at Robb and Marianne's residence. Please make remembrances in Marianne's name to ALS Association of Oregon and SW Washington. To my wife and best friend, "You can rest your smile now Marianne, for it has brought so much joy to many."
