MARY STUART KELLOGG

Mary Stuart Kellogg died peacefully of Alzheimer's on November 11th, 2014, 
surrounded by family in the home of her daughter Consuelo Faust-Anderson in San 
Francisco. Known for her loyal friendships, she was an inspiration to those who 
knew and loved her. Mary lived a soulful, courageous life, taking on critical 
life changes in pursuit of her own truth while advocating for civil rights, 
peace, and the rights of women.

Mary was born in 1925 in Monroe, Louisiana, daughter of Mary Louise Grisham and 
Robert Long Kellogg. After her father's death, she became the step-daughter of 
Thomas Watkins Leigh. She graduated from Ward-Belmont Preparatory School in 
Nashville, TN, and from Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans, LA. She received 
a Masters Degree in Library Science from University of Oregon. Married to and 
later divorced from Richard A. Faust, M.D., she lived much of her adult life in 
New Orleans raising four children. During this time she volunteered at 
organizations such as Kingsley House and Milton Latter Library. Later she and 
her sister Rhoda Kellogg Norman founded the Maple Street Book Shop, where she 
developed friendships with countless customers and pursued her lifelong love of 
books. A devoted mother, Mary was also a good friend to her children, and a 
good friend to her children's friends, treating people of all ages with respect 
and dignity. She had a delightful sense of humor and was a curious and gracious 
good listener.

While living in Eugene, Oregon during the 1970's, she founded the Book and Tea 
Shop, and like Maple Street Book Shop, it became a de facto community center 
where books, ideas, and issues of the day were discussed and debated. In 1981 
she moved to San Francisco and remained committed to political activism, 
particularly feminism and the Nuclear Freeze movement. She gave generously to 
causes she believed in.

Survivors include her sister and soulmate Rhoda Kellogg Norman; four children 
Richard Alan Faust Jr, Rhoda Kellogg Faust, Robert Kellogg Faust, Consuelo 
Abaunza Faust-Anderson; four grandchildren, Richard Alan Faust III, Robert 
Moreland Faust, Madeleine Stuart Anderson, and Thea Faust Anderson; and great 
grandson Hunter Moreland Faust.

There will be a gathering to celebrate her life, the plans for which are not 
yet finalized.

Throughout her life Mary's ready smile revealed her compassionate nature. It 
stayed with her until the end.
