Marian passed away on August 22, 2026.

Marian is survived by her children, John (Marilyn), Joan (Kevin), Jan (Cheryl), Joel (Jackie); 11 Grandchildren; 15 Great grandchildren; Granddogger, Poppy; cherished sister, Lois; and many nieces and nephews.

Marian lived almost her whole life in Inver Grove Heights, spending the last 5 years in Lakeville at Highview Hills Assisted Living.

She enjoyed birdwatching, casino excursions, playing cards, bingo and bowled into her mid-eighties. She was a “people person” and loved just getting to know you.

Marian was a great Mom and an even greater Grandma and will be remembered and loved by all who were lucky enough to know her.

Our heartfelt thanks to MN Hospice and Highview Hills RA staff who have touched our hearts with their gifts of compassion, patience, kindness and love in their care of Marian and her family.
