MARJORIE VIRGINIA HAMLIN, age 94, formerly of Spring Valley, Minn., died Tuesday evening, June 19, 2012, at Madonna Towers in Rochester where she had been a resident since January 2011.
Marjorie was born April 9, 1918, in Hesper, Iowa, to Peter and Iva (Casterton) Thorson. She attended local schools until moving to Spring Valley with her family. She worked at the Sward Kemp Drug store in Spring Valley as a clerk/bookkeeper until after WW II when she entered into marriage with Richard Hamlin on December 19, 1949, in Spring Valley. Richard and Marjorie lived and farmed in the Cherry Grove area until 1949, then moved to Spring Valley to continue farming until 1981. They then retired and moved to their rural home three miles north of Spring Valley. After Richard’s death in 1995, Marjorie continued to care for their rural home until 2004 when she moved to the Hillside Apartments in Spring Valley and then to Madonna Towers in 2011.
Marjorie loved working with Richard on the farm and raising their two children. She enjoyed reading, visiting with family and friends and being on her tractor mowing the lawn. She was known for her correspondence with friends and relatives of all ages. She was a member of Faith United Methodist Church and was an active member on the group that served at church functions.
Marjorie is survived by her daughter, Norma Jean (Dave) Amundson of Oronoco; son, Gary (JoAnn) of Spring Valley; four grandchildren, John (Hwa) Amundson of Greenville, Wisc., Michael (Mary) Amundson of Oronoco, Darcy (Steve) Erickson of Rochester and Kristine (Scott ) Hildebrand of Rochester; and great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Amundson of Oronoco. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; one brother, Virgil; two sisters, Wilma Stennis and Lucille Ladsten; two brothers-in-law; and a sister-in-law.
The funeral will be 11:00 a.m., Monday, June 25. 2012, at Faith United Methodist Church in Spring Valley with Pastor Beth Perez officiating. Burial will be in the Spring Valley Cemetery. Friends may call at Thauwald Funeral Home in Spring Valley 5 – 7:00 p.m., Sunday and at the church on Monday an hour before the service.
