MARION LUCILLE SJOBOEN

April 28, 1936 - October 21, 2016

Marion Lucille Sjoboen passed away on October 21, 2016 at the Lighthouse Memory Care Center in Anacortes, WA.

She was born in Enderlin, North Dakota on April 28, 1936. Her family moved to Auburn, WA early on and when Marion was in 6th grade, moved to the Skagit Valley. She met Bob in the 7th grade and they married in 1957. Marion was a kindergarten and first grade teacher for over 25 years in the Concrete School District. She was also very involved in Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church as the organist and Sunday school superintendent for many years.

Marion and Bob moved to Anacortes in 2008 to be closer to their children and grandchildren. With a welcoming smile and a gracious invite, there was always room for one more. She will be missed.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 59 ½ years, Robert Sjoboen and children and grandchildren: Anita and Dana McCoy; Nick, Leah & Jeff Wagner & Riverlyn (great granddaughter!); Paula Fors; Carin & Kirsten; Lauren & Angela Sjoboen; Siri & Anders; Marial & Shawn Dickson; Christopher, Kelsey & Kari.

There will be a graveside service on Saturday, November 26, 2016, at the Forest Park Cemetery in Concrete, WA at 11:00am followed by a church service at 11:45am at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church in Concrete with a luncheon after.

A special thank you to the caretakers at the Lighthouse and Hospice especially during the last few weeks.

If memorials are desired, they can be made to Shepherd of the Hills Church in Concrete.
