Featured Obituary:
Marianne Guerrini Boe, J.D., M.Ed, age 66, of Wilmette passed away on September 3, 2020. She was the proud and loving mother to Elizabeth, Conor, and Devin Boe; beloved sister of Kathleen (Marty Peters) Walsh and Timothy (Catherine) Guerrini; cherished aunt of Stephen Walsh (Sarah Drumm), Nicole McFaul (Shawn), Michael and Christine Guerrini and great-aunt to Luna and Tommy Drumm Walsh; former spouse of Michael Boe. She was a treasured friend to many.
Marianne was born May 5, 1954 in Ottawa, Illinois to Joseph and Catherine (Dooley) Guerrini. After graduating from Marquette High School in 1971 and Loyola University Chicago in 1974, Marianne attended law school at the University of Illinois and was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1977. A skilled trial attorney, she became a litigation partner in a large Chicago law firm, business owner, a vice-president in an international corporation, and also taught at Northwestern University and Chicago-Kent College of Law. During this time, Marianne was heavily involved in the Illinois State Bar Association, serving on the Board of Governors, committed to the work of the Landmark Preservation Council, and a dedicated board member and volunteer at Lawrence Hall Youth Services and Sunday School teacher at St. Francis Xavier parish.
After receiving a Masters of Education from Loyola University in 2001, Marianne found her greatest professional joy as a high school teacher, chairing the social studies departments at Resurrection High School and Regina Dominican High School. A beloved colleague and teacher, winning numerous accolades, Marianne taught young women to become confident, active citizens of the United States and the world. Countless students were inspired by her motto of “Real women speak up!”
An independent, lifelong scholar who immersed herself in learning about different cultures and people, Marianne was known for her incredible intelligence and ability to discuss any topic under the sun with anyone she met. An extensive traveler and voracious reader, she loved the arts, especially theater and often volunteered with The Saints. She was passionate about varied pursuits over the years from music to sailing to needlepoint to gardening and so much more.Read more from Donnellan Family Funeral Home »
