Marion H. Terry, 79, of Superior, died Saturday, May 26, 2007, at St. Mary's Hospice in Duluth.
Marion was born Feb. 7, 1928, in Bismarck, N.D., the daughter of Nellie (Pitt) and Charles Edwards. She married Forrest D. Terry on Dec. 21, 1951, in Gordon.
She was a longtime member and librarian at the Darrow Road Wesleyan Church. Marion loved gardening, computers (including teaching others how to use them), sewing, photography, and never tired of learning new things.
She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and tried never to miss important family events. She was an avid reader and passed her love of books down to her children and grandchildren. Her wonderful smile and listening ear will be sorely missed.
Marion was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, and leaves a legacy of a strong faith in God and love of family.
