Marlene Thorsness

Great people, John and Marky. Greg built their house and bought their cows and brand when John got sick. All of our cows proudly wear the MJ 5 brand! We speak of them so often.

I worked with Marky at Caldwell Banker. One day she told me about being eight years old and being put on a train by her mother to travel to a distant location all by herself. She knew land and property and always had time for me.

I am so sorry to hear about Markys passing. I have special memories of all of you...you used to babysit our dog ChaCha. Marky and I shared a job in Lake havasu and of course went to Mt. Olive Lutheran Church. I did get to visit Marky at Daybreak Ranch...a memorial gift will be given to Mt. Olive.. What a wonderful picture of Marky. My sincere sympathy.

I will always remember Mrs. Thorsness taking me along to visit Mindy in Yuma,Az. We saw the Junior college Football Championship. I admired her devotion to her wonderful family.

i will miss our visits on our motorcycle.... we tried to travel to Colorado at least once a year and always made time to stop and visit.... sometimes twice in one trip.... :-(

I remember Marky's open home filled with love for me to rest as I traveled home to Crested Butte holds a special place in my heart I will always carry this with me and continue to open my homes in Mexico or Dewey to other travelers Sending love and blessings to her family

I knew Marky back in the 80´s when we worked together. She was fun & supportive and although we lost touch I´ve always remembered her. I enjoyed reading the beautiful tribute to her life.
