Thanks for visiting to celebrate the life of Marlene Nyquist.

Marlene was born October 25th, 1939 in Minneapolis. At an early age, she enjoyed taking piano lessons and became quite an accomplished pianist. She taught 4th grade at Robbinsdale and Sunny Hollow for 8 years, and after leaving teaching she entered the business world as a nursing home facilities administrator in Waite Park.

In her early years she enjoyed camping with her family. This lead to a love of traveling and she visited Greece, Moscow, Poland and New Zealand to name a few. She also took frequent trips to Colorado to visit family over the holidays.

Marlene Nyquist passed away on Tuesday, December 8,2020 at the Park View Care Center in Buffalo, MN from COVID-19 related symptoms.

Survivors include her two sons Chris and Mark, two grandchildren Kenny and Nora, her sister Rosemary and her brother Mel.

At this time, no services are planned to help reduce the spread of the virus which has taken too many loved ones already. Instead of flowers, we ask everyone to do an unexpected act of kindness in her name.

We encourage you to leave a memorable story or inspirational thought to help all of us know her better.
