It is with sadness we report the passing of Mary Stegner, the widow of that American literary lion, Wallace Stegner. Her son reported she passed away in Portola vally, CA, where she has lived recently, not far from the Stanford campus where she and her late husband spent so many wonderful years of their lives together. She always asserted that she chose to support her husband's genius, and he loved her dearly for that support.
She was an accomplished violinist and played in the Stanford Symphony while he taught in the English dept.
She was 99 years old. A more detailed obituary was published in a Utah newspaper.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
