Marilyn Elaine (Moline) Pearthree, age 86, of Cambridge and formerly of Barnum and Hinckley, died peacefully July 22, 2019 at Cambridge Medical Center.
Marilyn was born on December 26, 1932 in Moose Lake, Minnesota to Charles and Sylvia (Seppanen) Moline. She grew up in Kettle River and graduated from Barnum High School in 1950. After graduation she lived in Seattle before returning to Kettle River. On January 16, 1954 she married Harold “Bud” Pearthree and they raised their four children in the Barnum and Hinckley areas.
Upon retirement, Marilyn and Bud pulled up roots and headed west settling in the Black Hills area of South Dakota. Marilyn enjoyed working at the famous Game Lodge in Custer State Park, meeting people from all over the world. After ten years they returned to Minnesota to spend time with their children and grandchildren.
Marilyn loved participating in all kinds of games with her family. She also enjoyed dancing, camping, fishing, bowling, and everything outdoors. Marilyn was an ardent supporter of her children’s education and other activities. She will be dearly missed.
Marilyn is survived by her husband, Harold “Bud” Pearthree; four children, Deb Pearthree, Craig Pearthree (Yvonne Olsen), Cindy (Mark) Sundberg, and Heidi (Steve) Olander; one sister, Karen Davis; grandchildren, Ben, Mikhail, Pete, Jesse, Kelsey (Sergio), Isaac, Janaya, Lacy (Joe), Aaron, Tekle, Zenebesh, Amanda (Adam), Betsy, Jackie; great-grandchildren, Liliana and Kade; and by many other relatives and friends. Besides her parents she was preceded in death by a sister, Faye Peterson.
Thinking of the entire Pearthree family. I am sorry for your loss of your mom, Marilyn. Us Charboneau’s have many happy memories of spending time with you and your parents. I remember how kind and welcoming your mom always was to all the “in town” kids! I hope you have the chance to share with each other the many wonderful memories of your mom and grandma. Prayers are with you at this time.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom/wife/grandma was my second Mom while I was growing up. I spent many many nights in your home. I have sweet memories of her playing Charlie Pride albums and trying to teach Cindy and I how to dance. Her laugh was contagious! Loved it when our folks got together.❤ She taught me many things that have carried over into my adulthood. Relationships were important. Apologize, even to those who should be looking up to you, if you have wrong them in anyway. Treat others when you can. She treated me to movies, sports games, shopping and even included me in the family vacation one year. I loved your Mom and have always had great respect for her and your Dad. Again I am sorry for each of your loss. Rest in peace, Marilyn
