    • (OBIT: Marion Lucille Erstad, 94, of Evansville passed away at the Evansville Manor on November 13, 2014. Marion was born in Janesville, Wisconsin on August 17, 1920 to Lula Belle (Mabie) and George Noyes. While a freshman at the Evansville High School, Marion was chosen to be prom queen by the prom king who had recently moved to Wisconsin from North Dakota. Marion graduated from Evansville High School in 1936 and then Madison Business College in 1938. In October of 1941, she married that prom king Robert Erstad, and their wedding dance lasted nearly 65 years until his death in 2006. Marion worked at the Janesville Gazette and the Three Sisters Dress Shop in Janesville before her marriage and then devoted her life to creating a home filled with love for her husband and two daughters. In 1965, Marion and Robert welcomed Evansville's third AFS student into their home and their lives. She was from Algeria and became their third daughter. Marion lived in Evansville most of her life and she embedded herself in the community as a Brownie and Girl Scout leader, a lifelong member and Sunday school teacher at the Congregational United Church of Christ, card clubs, and ladies' golf teams. Daily crossword puzzles and regular bridge games kept her sharp and she was rarely without a book in hand, often reading "a book a day". Marion enjoyed any gathering of people and any outing that included shopping or a meal out or a deck of cards. A woman of great compassion, faith, strength, and grace, she answered to many names: Marion, Mom, Mimi, Mummy, and Mernie. Marion spent a part of every summer out in North Dakota, at the Erstad family homestead farm where Robert was raised. For the past nearly forty years, Marion spent the winter months in what she and Robert considered their paradise - Spring Creek Village in Bonita Springs, Florida. There, they enjoyed a wonderful retirement. Marion continued to spend winters there after Robert's death, and she had looked forward to returning there for the 2014-2015 snowbird season. That was not to be. For three months, Marion suffered medical challenges that required hospitalizations and rehabilitation. During this time, she was especially supported by her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom came to visit and love her.)
