Marjorie Thelma Thune, 85, of Bowman, North Dakota, died peacefully and passed into the presence of her Lord, surrounded by her children Tuesday morning, January 7, 2014 at Sunrise Village in Bowman.

Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday morning, January 11, at 11 AM at Peace Lutheran Church, Scranton, ND. Pastor Mary Peterson will officiate with burial to follow at the Union Prairie Cemetery, rural Scranton.

Marjorie was born on August 2nd, 1928 to Walton and Kathleen (Moore) Thune of Ladner, South Dakota. She was the fourth daughter of eight girls. She grew up on the Thune Ranch, raising sheep, riding horses, and collecting rattlers from rattle snakes. Marjorie graduated from Bowman High School in 1946. Following graduation, she earned an Emergency Teacher’s Certificate at college in Dickinson. She taught one year at Whiting School, 1946-47, where a romance with John began to bloom.
In 1970-72, she enjoyed her work at the Sunset Nursing Home in Bowman, North Dakota.

Marjorie and John Torpen were married in Scranton, North Dakota, on June 8, 1947. They made their home on the Torpen Hillview Farm five miles south of Scranton where they raised grain and livestock. During this time God gave them six children. Marjorie was a wonderful mother, wife and partner to John for almost 63 years.

Being a talented seamstress, Marjorie sewed clothing for herself and her six children; including school clothes, prom dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses, and a wedding dress. She also took great pleasure in gardening, family genealogy, cooking and baking, crocheting, quilting, and embroidery. She was a 4-H leader and a member of Ladies Aide and Homemakers. Marjorie also had a love for reading and music; often whistling, humming, or singing a familiar tune.

Marjorie’s greatest joy was time spent with her six children and their families on the farm. Her hospitality included Sunday dinners with relatives and neighbors, which were often followed by games of Pinochle. She enjoyed afternoons with friends at the Scranton Senior Center having coffee and playing “May I.” While living at Western Horizons Assisted Living in Hettinger and Sunrise Village in Bowman she made many new friends and enjoyed putting puzzles together.

Marjorie’s inviting smiles and kind words made others feel welcome. Those who knew her loved her and were embraced by her unconditional love.

Family trips to the Cave Hills for church picnics and Thune and Torpen family gatherings were an important part of Marjorie’s life. During separate travels to Europe, England, and Norway, Marjorie enjoyed sightseeing, spending time with family, and researching family genealogy.

Marjorie was preceded in death by her parents; three sisters, Gladys (Kahrs), Phyllis (Palczewski), and Peggy (Brown); and one infant brother, Benjamin. She is survived by her four sisters; Dorothy (Thunem), Clara (Flemmer), Betty Joy (Njos), and Judy (McCann); and her six children: Dianna (Richard) Kalina, Marsha (Robert) Nelson, Jacqueline (James) Basaraba, Randal (Deborah) Torpen, Sandra (James) Smith, and Jane (Neil) Lessman; 16 grandchildren; 14 great- grandchildren; and 4 great great grandchildren.
