Marian was born March 7, 1934, the daughter of Henry H. and Laura (Odegaard) Haase in Hinckley, MN. She was united in marriage to Ronald David Hoit in 1952 and they divorced after 35 years together. Marian was employed by Metalcraft in Mason City before her girls were born.

Over the years Marian was a member of the God Squad, past secretary of the North Iowa Quilter’s Guild, volunteered her quilts and puppets for Eduplast and sent used stamps to the Sons of Norway for the disabled in Norway. She enjoyed being a pen pal with numerous children and spending her extra time doing crafts.

Marian’s favorite quote for the last few months was “old age isn’t for sissies”.
