Marian Liljenquist

Marian LaVerne Liljenquist, 86, our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away December 1 in Sandy, Utah, following a courageous battle with a short illness. Marian was born on December 27, 1927 in Idaho Falls, ID, to Harry J. and Katherine R. Martin. She grew up and was educated there. Due to the passing of her mother when Marian was 3 years old, she was raised by her grandparents who were custodians at the local Jr. High School. There she developed the traits of hard work and service that would define her life. She held many administrative positions in the school district and the medical industry. She also served for many years as president of the local hospital volunteer organization. In 1958, she married her sweetheart, Dean Liljenquist. They were later sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. Marian touched the lives of many and was loved by all who knew her. She enjoyed spending time with her family, playing the piano, and singing. She held many church positions and loved to volunteer and serve those in need.
She is preceded in death by her husband Dean. She is survived by her two children Ron (Jackie) Liljenquist and Karen Stein, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 6, 2014, at 11:00 am, at Mountain View Memorial, 3115 E. 7800 S. (Bengal Blvd), SLC.
