n 1994 Merlyn passed away, and Marilyn moved back to Northwood. During this time, she took care of her mother and returned to her home church, First Shell Rock Luthran Church, the same church she was baptized and confirmed in. The last 9 years she had been residing in Albert Lea, to be closer to her daughter and family.
Marilyn's faith was strong. She could always be found praying for those in need, and found comfort talking to the Lord. Through the years she found enjoyment and peace in the outdoors. Whether it was gardening, planting new flowers, watching the birds, taking strolls in the woods, or just sitting, it brought her joy. Marilyn was an animal lover, constantly having dogs and cats around the house to keep her company, but there was no love stronger than for her children, grandchildren, family and friends. Her kindness, giving heart, happy nature and wisdom will be missed by her friends and family.
Left to cherish Marilyn's memory are her children, Sharlyn Nimz, of Albert Lea, MN, and Brant Becker of Austin, MN; grandchildren, Brian Becker, Gina (Mitch) Wadding, Wayne Becker, Rachael Becker, Phillip Nimz and Jane Nimz; great-grandchildren, Alexander, Chelsea, Dylon, Isaiah, CJ, Sarena, and Hannah; her sister, Beverly Larsen of New Jersey; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Those who have preceded her in death are her husband, Merlyn; parents; daughter, Lugene; her brother, Rene Burtness; and her son-in-law, Raymond Nimz.
As Marilyn would always say, "Take Care, God Bless."
