MURIEL HAYDEN
100 years old
Muriel Bell Buckley Hayden of San Francisco and Lagunitas died Feb. 27. She was 100.
Mrs. Hayden, a summer resident of Marin since 1905, was born to a third generation California family in 1897. As a young girl, she rode her horse through San Francisco, boarded the ferry to Marin County, then continued her ride by horse back to her summer home in Lagunitas.
On her 100th birthday, she received congratulations from President Bill Clinton, and Mayor Willie Brown proclaimed Sept. 6, 1997, as Muriel Bell Buckley Hayden Day in San Francisco.
She was a former president of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Society of California Pioneers.
Mrs. Hayden is survived by one son, Edward Buckley Hayden of San Rafael; one daughter, Sallie Bell Marden of San Rafael; five grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Her husband, Walter Hayden, died in 1984.
Graveside services are pending.
