As a recentlr retiree of Clearviw nursing home aftrt being employed for 30 years I wish to extend my sympathy to yoyr family. I truly enjoyed caring for Marion and found her to be quite a lady! She had a quick sense of humor even at her age. I will miss her when I go to visit some of my "special" people. As I read the obit I did not realize that she came from Red Wing where my brother has lived for many years. It is indeed a small world.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
