Froelke, Marianne B. (Rustad)
Beloved Wife, Mother & Grandmother
Passed away peacefully, on May 25, 2025. Preceded in death by husband James, parents Carl & Marcille, and siblings Donald, Jack and Cherlyn.
Survived by sons Daniel (Marilyn), Jack, Mark (Kiersten) & Kris; grandchildren Shawn (Ashley) & Andrea Escobar (Evert); great-grandchildren Alexia, Alyse, Ashton, Sofia & Camilo.
Marianne had a warmth and light that lit up every room she entered. With her quick wit and loving spirit, she brought joy to all who knew her. Remembered by many as kind, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate, Marianne had a gift for making everyone she met feel seen and special. She was immensely proud of her four sons and the close bond they share – a testament to the love and values she and Jim instilled in them. She also lovingly cared for her husband, Jim, throughout his long battle with Lewy body disease, showing strength, devotion, and grace through every step of his journey.
Special thanks to the wonderful staff at Suite Living Senior Care in Inver Grove Heights.
