Her father was employed by the North Dakota State Mill and Elevator which transferred him to Mandan when Marion was a young child. She moved to Grand Forks with her family and graduated from Central High School. She then attended Lutheran Deaconess School of Nursing for three years. In Valley City on May 29, 1935, she married Sigurd Syvrud of Mandan, who had been smitten with young Marion when she and her family lived there. They made their home in Mandan, where she devoted herself fully and completely to the roles of wife to "Sig" and later, mother to her three sons. After the boys were prepared to begin their own lives away from home, Marion resumed her life of giving to others as a registered nurse at the Bismarck Hospital where she was employed from 1953 until 1972. Her reading and study of the scriptures was of great importance, but she had an active intellect and also maintained an interest in current events, politics, sports and much more throughout her life. Part of her legacy to her children is the example she, as well as "Sig," set regarding the importance of faith in Jesus Christ, and the nurturing of a strong sense of that faith in their children. Marion is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law, Robert and June, Polson, Mont., Richard and Karen, Kenai, Alaska, and Gerald and Kay, Hawley, Minn.; six grandsons; three granddaughters; and 22 great-grandchildren.
