Marianne Frances Dyer
Kevin, Alex and Clare are sad to announce that our gorgeous Marianne passed away suddenly on 2nd March 2026, aged 59.
Loved by everyone she met, Marianne’s smile, warmth and zest for life lit up every room. As a clinician, Marianne touched so many lives and made enormous contributions to worker safety in several heavy industries. She was a friend to all and adored by all.
Marianne bore her long illness with incredible fortitude and a light heart, never letting it define her and making every moment count of the bonus years her brilliant surgical, medical and care teams gave her: we are eternally grateful to them all.
Marianne will leave our house on her last great adventure at 10.00 on Tuesday 31st March. Following a private family cremation, Marianne’s funeral service will be held at All Saints’ Church, West Lavington, at 13.00 on Tuesday 31st March 2026, with her wake afterwards at The Churchill Arms, High Street, West Lavington.
Everyone is welcome to join our celebration of Marianne’s amazing life. We kindly ask that you inform the family of your attendance at least two days prior.
Marianne wished everyone to dress joyfully: no black please. Prior to attending, Marianne’s asked for you to share with the family your funniest or fondest memory of her, if possible with a photograph from an event or time where you were enjoying an experience: Marianne was all about living life to the fullest.
Family flowers only, please.
Two charities that Marianne cared deeply for were Thymic UK (https://www.thymicuk.org) and the Mission to Seafarers (https://www.missiontoseafarers.org). Both organisations are very specialised and relatively small, carrying out amazing work for overlooked groups. If you are able to make even a small donation in Marianne’s name to either or both of these precious charities that would be incredibly generous and very welcome.
For further information or to pass on personal messages please contact Kevin by email (kpdyer85@icloud.com).

I had the pleasure of working with Marianne for a number of years and sharing a lovely friendship. She was kind, patient, and always sporting a massive smile with a wicked sense of humour. I have so many fun memories of our time together and I know you will leave a legacy of laughter. Anyone that owns a border terrier ( or three) gets my vote. Rest in peace my little ray of sunshine xxx

So sorry not to be there today. All my love to family and friends. Thinking of you all today. Take care.
I remember the “what you were wearing when the titanic went down” party in med school days. Small sailers outfit if I remember! Too much drinking and loads of laughing.
I shall just remember the laughing (and the leaving dirty plates under her bed of course)

How it’s going
How it started
Marianne and Kevin from a skiing holiday we had in Austria in the early 90s.
Kevin, Marianne and Mel - all dressed up, ready for a night of music and mayhem at the Henley Music Festival in September 2021 with Nicki, Tracey and Caroline. The wine flowed, the dance floor beckoned. A great night was had by all 🥰
Oktoberfest 2021, what great a night!
Quality mum and daughter time! 🤗Gleneagles November 2021
Lovely Marianne and I getting ready for the Foo Fighters - what a fantastic night that was. Resulting in Marianne forever being known in our house as Foo Fighters Marianne!
Nicky, Marianne & Mel - aka ‘Treble Trouble’ sitting together on the best seat in the house, with wine, of course! 🥰
Our Marianne originals - complete with tiny dragonfly!
Marianne’s creativity shone through in many ways – from designing and sewing her wedding dress to crafting custom silver jewellery, all filled with her characteristic care and love. We proudly wear the earrings and necklaces she made for us. 🥰
Our early Christmas celebrations on 6th December at Remeo, complete with all Marianne’s favourites - pigs in blankets, homemade sausage rolls, Christmas pudding and custard, washed down with a little grape juice! What a memorable celebration 🥰
Last time we met. Hugging the blue healing stones at Stonehenge x
Marrianne agreed to be Team Excelsioar’s med support “Onshore Medical Support - Davis sisters” for the 2023 Atlantic row. A medical pack drugs drop at Chievely Services, bubbles for send off and plenty of support and guidance during the crossing x

Mike took this photo in Staining, when Marianne was visiting my Mum & Dad. I've been trying to work out how old she was - maybe late teens? Beautiful, inside and out.
Gleneagles 2021. What a great week… golf a little hit and miss for some, but the family time was amazing. 🤩
Met in the Netherlands for drinks, 2 years ago. A very special visit with both Marianne and Kevin
Such a wonderful visit to our adored French sister, Laurence, in the beautiful Pyrenees in 2024 xx ❤️❤️❤️
The Davis Girls ❤️❤️❤️ My beautiful and beloved sisters Marianne and Jane are together again, with Mum and Dad 🙏. Loving and missing you all forever.
