Marjorie Holl

Marjorie grew up in Morris, Minnesota. She graduated from Morris High School and received her undergraduate degree in history from the College of St. Benedict. She started her high school teaching career at Waubun High School in 1959, teaching history and social studies there until her retirement in 1994. She met her beloved husband Jack in Waubun, and they made their home in Waubun for six decades.

Marjorie was involved in many local volunteer organizations, including the Mahnomen Library Club, the Mahnomen County DAV, the American Cancer Society, and Dollars for Scholars, to name just a few. Her hobbies included gardening, reading, and travel. She and her husband Jack were long-time season ticketholders for the Minnesota Vikings. Along with more than four decades of annual family Christmas trips to Maui and travel throughout the United States and Europe, Marjorie and Jack enjoyed memorable trips in retirement to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Bangkok, Nepal and Vietnam, including travel on the Orient Express.

Marjorie is survived by her daughter, Shawn (Steve Thompson); grandson, Steven; sister Frances Altrich; brother David (Elsie) Lonergan; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Funeral and burial will take place at St. John’s Abbey and Cemetery in Collegeville, Minnesota.
