Marian was born February 24, 1927, in Waseca County to Mathew Henry and Grace Mary (Kaiser) Fox.  She attended school in Pemberton.  On August 30, 1944, Marian married Kenneth William Hoehn of Madison Lake, at St. Mary’s Church in rural Waseca.  She lived with her parents while Kenny was in the service during World War II.  When the war ended, Kenny returned home and they moved to Madison Lake where they lived most of their lives.  In July 2004, they moved into the charming garden style house that they built in Mankato.  Kenny’s health deteriorated and he passed away in October 2006.  Marian sold their home and then resided at Keystone Senior Living in upper Mankato until her death.

Marian worked for Roemer’s Grocery, which later became Brinkman’s Grocery Store in Madison Lake.  For several years, she was a partner in the Creamery Country Crafts and Antiques in Madison Lake.  Marian was a member and past president of St. Anne’s Altar Society, All Saints Church and a member of the Madison Lake Legion Auxiliary.  Marian was a busy homemaker and mother.  Family was always her first priority.  Kenny and Marian were blessed with seven children.  Those children, their spouses, and her grand & great-grandchildren contributed to endless joy and happiness for Marian.  She treasured those fun-filled days of bowling, dancing, camping, cards (especially bridge), traveling in the States and overseas along with their many friends.
