I don’t know where to even begin…..we had so many good times from the time we became neighbors in 1969…..playing cards, bowling, visiting, homemakers, even “partying” in our younger years! You will be so missed Mariann. Thank you for your friendship….Rest in Peace!
So sorry for your loss kim & family, thoughts & prayers to you & your family
I have fond memories of growing up on a farm, next to Marianne and Albert and their family. Knowing her faith in God she’s in good hands.
Marianne was a wonderful cousin, she was always full of stories that entertained and educated us on our families. We enjoyed going for coffee and pie with her when we were in Fargo. She lived a full life that she was very proud of. Rest In Peace, you will be missed.

My sympathy to all that knew & loved Cousin Mariann. I only got a couple opportunities to visit with her face to face, but I always enjoyed the Family Christmas Picture card. A beautiful family indeed. Prayers of comfort & healing as you reminisce about her wonderful life & how she loved you.
I will always remember when my parents and I would visit LaMoure and the many hours of card games at Mariann and Bob’s.
Goodbye aunt Mariann, you will be missed.
With love,

From, Sigwald Haugen granddaughter in Fargo
I send my prayers and sympathy to all of you. I am a cousin from Great Falls, MT. Sharing your memories will keep you close to her.
Great memories of my cousin. God bless her family!
For most of us, the legacy we leave behind is our family. What a wonderful legacy you have left! Some of my best childhood memories are of my cousins (Mariann’s children) and my siblings racing around the house and the yard at Grandma and Grandpa Haugen’s. Thanks for those memories Mariann.
My sister, my friend! I will miss our travels, our card games, telling stories on each other (some real, some embellished) but always funny and sometimes we just laughed. You were at my side during the worst times in my life and I am forever grateful for that. I love you and will forever miss you.
My sympathy’s to the family. Through my years of going to high school with Alan and Denly and knowing Kevin too good. Mariann was good to me with high school wrestling . Her and her family are wonderful people. And was always kind to my dad. I am proud to know the Jacobson family and being lifetime friends.
It is a sad day. But we have had many happy days, at your house playing cards, on the cruises, traveling together to see the sights and at Mom and Dads. There are many people that will miss you for one thing or many! Besides your children, grand children and the great grandchildren. Rest In Peace Mariann. You will be missed.

our sympathies. it has been a long time but I remember Mariann very well.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family. Mariann had such a positive impact, good memories will live on in so many hearts. I will remember her generosity, particularly in holiday meals, and wholeheartedly accepting me as part of the family.
My sympathy to the family of Mariann. We always enjoyed our visits with her thru the years and whenever I called her she was always so interested in everything and so easy to visit with. She was one classy lady.
To all Mariann family’s Mariann was a great friend to my mom and dad Don and Ardith Horab. When My mom died she had wrote her a letter telling her she was coming to see her in a week. I still remember that day she got their. she walk in to the room went over to my mom and said i am here Ardith and i love you. I am going to check into my hotel and i will be back. She left and mom died shortly after that. Just like she was waiting for her to come and say good bye. I also will remember all the times she come to Williston with Jan and Shirley we get together
she tell me all about her family. RIP Mariann
Mom told me that Mariann passed away, and we were sad to hear. I always enjoyed visiting with her, and she always had a smile that lit up her face. Even though age catches up with us all, it didn’t seen she had aged from the last time I saw her to the time of Robert’s visitation. She was proud of her family, I know you will miss her. Mariann will live on in your hearts and memories.
