A nurtrtitionist, Carolina Zamorano, who had known Marianne penned a note after her death. Sharing photos with Marianne, Carolina wrote:
“Still can’t believe you’re no longer with us. We shared this Saturday backstage, were you accompanying your girls. Your face was filled with joy and fullness, we talked about your second Olympia, you had achieved an incredible change in one year, with less cardio, more food and enjoying your family and preparation much more. You were eager more than ever for the next challenge. For me you are my maximum female reference Chilean professional, a woman full of energy, with great values, great wisdom and a humble heart, willing to help whoever she is. You left us all a great legacy. Thank you for everything you gave us @mari.gierke.ifbbpro Rest in peace mi Mari.”
Marianne also had a boyfriend of 10 years. Just few days before her passing, she had heaped priases on her boyfriend, Juan Cofre Garcia, and thanked him for his support during her session and how she was able to win the title of the Rising Phoenix World Championship. She wrote:
“He is with me 365 days a year, not only when things go well, but also through every difficult stage of a preparation. The one who lives with me through every process, my good days, my doubts, my frustrations and my goals. The one who holds from the shadows a fundamental part of all they see on stage. Thank you for believing in me, even when the road gets tough. To understand this passion, live it with me and vibrate with every challenge as if it were yours too.”
Marianne thanked him for walking by her side, sharing her dream and being an integral part of her every achievement. While her season has ended, their path together continues. She also revealed how her boyfriend has been extremely proud of her accompalishments and how she would always have his support.
Before taking part in Mr. Olympia, Marianne shared her feelings on Instagram. She revealed how second time around doesn’t feel the same. She called getting selected for Mr. Olympia was a big dream she had seen for years. Coming back changes the story completely. She wrote:
“But behind this photo there is no coincidence, not an isolated moment. There are years. There is a process. There is a decision that has been repeated thousands of times: to move on. This time I hit different. With a different team, different cars, with more experience. More aware of what it means to be here. And with the same ambition as always…. and enjoying more with my family (Juan and Luciano.)”
We pray for Marianna’s family in these testing times.
