She married Albion Rodde Nov. 4, 1946 at Vang Lutheran Church. Marian loved being a mom and raising her two sons and her grandchildren were the apple of her eye. She worked at the Laura Baker School, H & M Grocery and C & L Fashions while also involved in many volunteer endeavors. She shared her time generously at First Lutheran Church, the Kenyon Sunset Home and as a Hospice volunteer. Along with Albion, she served on the start-up committee that initially founded the Faribault-Kenyon Area Hospice. She loved Kenyon and treasured her many friends in the area.

She was a long time member of the Kenyon Country Club where she enjoyed many rounds of golf.
