Born on January 23, 1935 at Carroll, Iowa, Marian was the daughter of Steve and Florence (Hermsen) Loew. She grew up on her family’s dairy farm near Maple River, where she milked cows, bottle fed calves, and helped deliver newborn calves. She later completed her education from St. Francis of Assisi School in Maple River.
On August 11, 1956 Marian was united in marriage to Roland Daniel at St. James Catholic Church in Madison, Wisconsin. The couple made their home in the Carroll area. Marian worked at St. Anthony Hospital for over 25 years, working on the cleaning staff, and later completing her education to become a certified nurse’s aide.
Marian also was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. She enjoyed baking, gardening, canning, watching baseball, especially if the St. Louis Cardinals were playing, and traveling with Roland. Marian held a special place in her heart for her extraordinary furry companion Louie.
