Marian Lundgaard Obituary

Marian Ruth Lundgaard 8-27-29-5-13-11 Beloved Wife, Mother, Nana, Friend Leaves behind to never forget her: husband of 60 years, Gene; children Karla and Bryan; grandchildren Seth, Caroline, Kayla, Emma; countless dear friends. Educated as an elementary teacher, Marian taught for four years, yet her greatest work was done for her family, friends, and church. She taught us to love unconditionally and be kind to others; instilled the belief that family is most important and so are traditions. She showed us that you're never too old to try new things. We know that manners are free and it's good to give to others less fortunate. Her family is thankful for the excellent care Marian received from her doctors, the staff at Tacoma General Hospital, and Multicare Hospice. Memorial service Saturday May 28 at 10 am Trinity Lutheran Church, 121st and Park Ave. Parkland. Please sign the online guest book at www.dryermortuary.com

Marian was the epitome of hospitality. What a gift. She simply walked the walk and demonstrated that actions are more powerful than words...and thereby gained loved ones that she probably did not know she had..such as myself.

Marian had a welcoming spirit and exemplified, by her actions, the edict of welcoming strangers. Better to live the scripture than to be able to recite it verbatim. Many people talk the talk but Marian walked the walk, and garnered loved ones that she probably didn't even know she had, such as me.

Gino & Family. I am so sorry to hear of Marian's passing. While I didn't know her well, she always treated me like we were old friends. The world has lost a jewel but I know she'll continue to shine.

Marian was always most gracious and friendly to me. I saw her often when the Normanna Male Chorus was singing, and she faithfully greeted me after our singing. Her memory is truly blessed!
