MARION L. CALDER
Marion Lorene Peterson Calder was born to Walfred C. and Rosalie (Chaney) Peterson on Sept. 9, 1906 in Geneva. She died June 1, 1995, at the Heritage Nursing Home in Geneva, at the age of 88 years, 8 months, and 22 days. She was the sixth of nine children.
Marion was baptized in the Congregational Church in Geneva, and graduated from Geneva High School. She attended Kearney State College and taught in District No. 11, a country school between Fairmont and Grafton.
In 1928, Marion married Noral "Brogue" Calder. They were blessed with three children, Carol and twin sons, Michael and Thomas.
Her husband passed away in 1942. In 1943, Marion, went to work at the Fairmont Army Air Base and continued to work there until 1947. She then moved to Lincoln and worked for the Veteran's Administration, retiring after 30 years of service. Following her retirement from government service, she was employed at Miller and Paine.
Throughout her life she maintained a great love and interest in music and provided much pleasure to many by playing the piano for them. She often said, "if you will hum it, I can play it."
She was a member of the Westminister Presbyterian Church of Lincoln, the Community Concert Series, the Symphony Guild, D.O.E.S. Chapter FG, PEO in Lincoln and the Geneva Chapter No. 180 Order of the Eastern Star.
The Nebraska Cornhusker football team was very special to Marion. She never missed a home game and was fortunate to attend the Hula Bowl in Hawaii, and the Orange Bowl in Miami.
In June of 1987, due to failing health, she moved to the Heritage Nursing Home. She soon began using her musical skill by playing the piano for the residents almost any time of the day.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Walferd and Rosalie; sisters Leta Tomlinson, Dazel Camp, and Minnie Murle Abrhamzon; brothers, John, Frank, and Paul; and by her husband, Noral D.
She is survived by daughter, Carol Miller; sons, Thomas D, and Michael D. Calder; sisters, Rose Hammond and Helen Biba; 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted at 2 p.m., Monday, June 5, from the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Geneva, with the Rev. Wanda Bennett officiating.
Nancy Cradduck provided organ prelude and postlude for the service. Casket bearers were Lowell heath, Richard Kohler, Robert Kohler, Richard Manning, David Portwood and Brad Stephens.
