Mardelyn Thompson
September 20, 1922 — August 25, 2015
Funeral services for Mardelyn Lois Thompson of Ellendale, MN, will be held at 10:30 am, Saturday, August 29, 2015 at the First Lutheran Church in Ellendale, MN. Pastor Richard Sliper will officiate. Visitation will be held Friday evening August 28 from 4-7 pm at the church, and one hour prior to the service Saturday. Interment will be in the Ellendale Lutheran Cemetery.
Mardelyn was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, August 25 at the Homestead Hospice House, in Owatonna, MN. She was 92 years of age, just one month short of 93.
Mardelyn was born Sept 20, 1922 at home in rural New Richland, the daughter of Clarence "Spike" and Agnes (Hagen) Thompson. She went to country school and graduated from Ellendale High School in 1940. On June 25, 1941 she was united in marriage to James M. Thompson. She lived in the Ellendale area most of her life, and the past few years at Whispering Oak in Ellendale with her husband James. Mardelyn worked locally as a secretary for a Real Estate/Insurance agency and later at Jostens and JCPenney for many years as an accountant retiring in 1985.
She was quick witted and enjoyed sewing, crossword puzzles, and especially the cryptoquiz puzzles in the paper, reading, playing cards, going to Las Vegas and casinos in Minnesota with James and taking trips in their motorhome.
Her family held a special place in her heart. Those left to treasure her memory are her son Jerry and his wife Ginger of Ellendale, MN, granddaughters Christine (Tom) Krause, Carrie (Danny) Wichmann, Carlie (Joseph) Sevcik and grandson-in-law Kevin Hamor, as well as five great-grandchildren: Gabriel Thompson, Sophia Krause, Sierra Krause, Alexander Sevcik and Annabella Sevcik. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Dorothy Thompson, her granddaughter Cathy (Thompson) Hamor, and husband James Thompson.
We take courage that she is free of pain and that she now knows only endless joy. We will celebrate with her when we are reunited again.
