Marlene Carol Klinepier, 79, passed away on Sunday, October 21, 2018, at her home in Mantorville, MN.

Marlene (Moen) Klinepier was born on June 19, 1939, the daughter of Efriam and Ruby (Johnson) Moen in Rochester, MN. Marlene was a life-long resident of Kasson and Mantorville, MN.  She graduated from Kasson-Mantorville High School in 1958.  On June 13, 1959, Marlene married Lowell B.

The couple farmed their entire life together on their farm near Mantorville. Marlene worked at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester and later for Dr. Affeldt in Kasson, MN.  Her real love was farming side by side with Lowell.  Whether it was helping in the dairy barn, driving tractor or grain trucks, Marlene was at Lowell’s side.  She loved to camp and travel with Alaska as their highlight.  Summers often found them attending antique tractor shows.
