Marjorie Joyce Curtis was born in Minneapolis April 25th, 1933 to Arthur Throolin and Myrtle (Oslin) Throolin. She graduated from Mound High School and went on to own/manage Circle Pizza. There she met and married William Curtis and moved to a farm in Isanti in 1975. She had 5 children: Sandra Lee, Sharon Lynn, Steven Jon, Douglas William and David Arthur. She loved growing food and did so up until her death. Favorite thing to grow was tomatoes (white and yellow ones have less acid and are easier on the stomach). Summer was a time for yummy grilled tomato and cheese sandwiches. She also grew carrots, sweet peppers, peas and green beans. Her Honeycrisp and State Fair apple trees provided more than enough for apple pies and applesauce. The other constant in her life was cats – she loved them.

Marjorie died in her sleep November 11, 2023 at Park River Estates Care Center in Coon Rapids. Besides her parents, Marjorie is preceded in death by her daughter, Sharon Erickson; son, Douglas Curtis; siblings Al Throolin and Betty Foslein; and former husband William Curtis.

Marjorie is survived by her daughter, Sandra (Rob) Anderson; sons, Steven Curtis and David Curtis; grandchildren, Amber (Greg) Hiel, Andy (Cheryl) Anderson, Angie (Chad) Grabenbauer, Christi (Cory) Strohbeen, Jenny (Ben) Hall, Sarah Curtis, Erica (Jesse) Eckenrode and D.J. (Megan) Curtis; 19 great grandchildren, 1 great, great grandchild; siblings Jan Throolin and Bill Throolin and many other relatives.
