Tribute To Catherine Munson

As a fellow Realtor, Eichler enthusiast and neighbor, I was saddened when Catherine Munson passed away just a little over a year ago. Catherine was an integral part of the allure and history of Eichler homes, beginning in the 1950s when, as an Eichler homeowner, Catherine worked as a hostess for the Eichler sales office in Terra Linda. She continued, throughout her life, to be a tireless champion of Eichler homes and the Eichler lifestyle.
A few days ago, I was walking through the beautiful hills surrounding the Lucas Valley and came across this plaque honoring Catherine Munson. It reads:
The glorious hills of lucas valley
Horizontal afternoon light casts
Across the ridge as the sun sets
Lush green spring grasses soon
Followed by summer’s golden waves
This magnificent open space
Available for generations to enjoy
Thanks to Catherine H. Munson
“these things nourish our soul”
with love and gratitude
to an outstanding woman
our neighbor, our mom
whose vision decades ago
preserved these wondrous hills
through her enduring passion
for the place she called home
-2014
It is a lovely tribute to a woman who loved beautiful Marin.
