Marie M. Fallon (Popielarz) succumbed to pancreatic cancer on May 5, 2012.
She passed at her home in Bowling Green, embraced by her husband and other close family members. Marie always had an engaging smile and offers of help to anyone she encountered.
Marie earned a degree in accounting from SUNY-Buffalo, a master's degree in health administration from St. Joseph's College, and a doctorate in leadership from Bowling Green State University. For the past 15 years, she served as the executive director and CEO of the National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH). Her efforts greatly elevated the stature of the agency.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. Fleming Fallon; children Jennifer (Louisville, KY) and Bryan (Bowling Green); her father, Raymond (Sudbury, MA), a brother Michael (North Tonawanda, NY), a sister, June (Sudbury, MA), and nine nephews and nieces: Brett (Columbiana, OH), Todd (Charlotte, NC), Eric and Sandra (North Tonawanda, NY), April and Ryan (Sudbury, MA), and Emily, Andrew, and Ian (Erie, PA).
Her passions included gardening and crocheting. Marie was fond of saying every day is a gift and exemplified that approach in her life. She will be greatly missed by family, friends and colleagues in every state and many countries.
