Marguerite Louise Pramann

Marguerite Louise Pramann, 102 of Little Canada, MN, passed on June 12, 2023. She was born on March 6, 1921, in St. Cloud, MN, to Louise (Bonsack) and John Pramann. Marguerite was educated in the St. Cloud Public Schools, graduating from Technical High School in 1938 and from St. Cloud Teachers College (now St. Cloud State University) in 1942. After teaching in public schools in Bricelyn, MN, and Oshkosh, WI, Marguerite earned an MA in religious education from Scarritt College in Nashville, TN. She also received certification in special education through the University of Minnesota. Marguerite retired as a special education teacher for St. Paul Public Schools and had served as director of children's work for the Minnesota Council of Churches, and director of religious education for the St. Paul Council of Churches. Although she had no children of her own, her school children took their place. She also taught English to Hmong refugees through the Laos Community Center. She was a proud member of the Minnesota Territorial Pioneers, and historical societies in Stearns and Ramsey counties and the Minnesota Historical Society. A lifelong learner, Marguerite traveled the world, participating in at least 28 Elderhostels.

She is survived by her devoted niece, Priscilla Luitjens and three other nieces and nephews, Kelly Pramann, David (Mary) Pramann, and Marie Zhuikov (Russ Maron); and the extended Pramann family.
