Marianne Burger Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 27, 2025.
Marianne Catherine Burger (Todavich) passed away on May 13, 2025 at age 89. She was born on August 13, 1935 in Nebish, MN. She was preceded in death by her husband Derril, son Jeremy, brother Tony, and sisters Elizabeth, Amelia, and Bea. She is survived by her son Jeffrey, daughters Pamela (Rees) and Rebecca (Chris) and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Marianne grew up on the family's farm in Nebish. She enjoyed telling stories of her early life growing up with her brother and sisters. Her stories featured tractor driving, working the trip on the hay carrier in the haymow, and adventures in the blueberry patch. She raised her own family with Derril and after many Brownie and Cub Scout meetings, swim lessons and after school lemon bars, they built a successful real estate business in Chanhassen and Minnetonka. She loved spending time with her extended family and traveling the world with Derril and with her friends.

A private burial will be held at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Minnetonka, MN. In addition a celebration of her life will be in Bemidji, Minnesota in September.
