Marion Saunders - Former school board member and social
advocate Marion Saunders never stopped working to make Hawaii a better
place—even up to the day she died, friends said. Saunders, 89, of Honolulu,
died Aug. 6, 1998 at Straub Hospital. “She was interested in all projects or
events that concerned the public,” said Arlene Ellis, past president of the
League of Women Voters of Hawaii. “She was that type of person. She wanted to
enhance what was going on in Hawaii.” Saunders and her late husband, Allan, a
University of Hawaii professor and dean, founded the League of Women Voters of
Honolulu in 1948. In 1965, she worked to expand the league into a statewide
organization. She also helped launch the Hawaii chapter of the American Civil
Liberties Union. Education was Saunders’ passion. As a WAVE officer during
World War II, she taught officer candidates about weekly war developments. She
also was principal of the Territory of Hawaii’s first adult continuing
education school. At the East-West Center, she was in charge of helping
Micronesian students. In 1968, she launched a continuing education program for
women at the University of Hawaii, a precursor to the Women’s Studies program.
She was elected to the school board in 1974 and served until 1981. After her stint on the board, she continued
to testify at the Legislature about school problems and needs and what ought to
be done to address them, and worked on issues like charter schools. “She was
always very concerned about education,” Ellis said. “What’s more important than
education?” During the last two years of her life, she proposed and helped
found the University of Hawaii’s Academy of Lifelong Learning and formed a
discussion group to help plot a new course for the East-West Center. “She would
never quit,” Ellis said. “We tried to force her to go to only one meeting per
day rather than four or five, but it was a very difficult thing to do. You
could not squelch this woman’s enthusiasm.” A memorial service is scheduled for
4 p.m. Sunday in the auditorium of the UH Architecture Building. In lieu of
flowers, contributions may be made to the UH Foundation Allan and Marion
Saunders Lifelong Learning Endowment.
