Marcia Mary Lundin

Marcia Lundin, age 79, died peacefully in her home in Bloomington on September 12, 2023 after a two-year battle with cancer. She was born in Minneapolis, the first born of Chester and Marie Lundin. As the first grandchild on both sides of the family, she was smothered with love and attention, until the four other siblings joined the family. She then became a big sister, teacher and watchful eye for them all. Marcia attended The Basilica of St. Mary Elementary School for eight years followed by St. Margaret's Academy and graduated in 1962. After high school she joined the Novitiate of the Sisters of St. Joseph, where she studied, lived in the community of sisters, deepened her relationship with God and her self awareness. During these years, Marcia served God and her community and also earned her BS History with a teaching certificate. She taught as a Novice for a year before making the decision to leave religious life and share her education and talents outside of the community. She attended Mankato State College where she earned her master's degree in library science in 1972. Marcia's background in her faith helped her choose her next position-school librarian at De La Salle High School in Minneapolis, and then on to Cretin Durham Hall High School in St. Paul. We are certain that she touch the lives of many students with her quick wit and the stern look that all librarians must have! She used two years of sabbatical leave to teach English at a private English School in Osaka, Japan, where she developed a strong love of Japanese culture and language. She enjoyed many travels throughout the world and returned with lots of stories and photos from her adventures. Marcia lived a life filled with love, caring, laughter and cherished moments with family and friends. She will be remembered for her passion for teaching, reading, and crafting which brought joy and inspiration to all who loved her. Marcia is preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Marie (Brown) Lundin; and brothers James, Peter and Richard Lundin. She is survived by her sister Patrice Roesner; sister-in-law Lind Lundin; nephews Eric (Jennifer) Roesner, and Mark (Trisha) Lundin; and nieces Aimee (Dave) Andreotti and Christina (Daniel) Fox; and 10 great-nieces and nephews. Marcia will be dearly missed by all who knew her and her legacy will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who lives she touched.
