life story

Marianne at work at Ecolab.

Marianne passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, January 6, 2022. Marianne was born in St. Paul, MN in 1923 and was the daughter of Peter and Anna (Knopf) Kriegler. She attended St. Agnes Elementary School and Wilson High School. After graduating, she started working in the accounting department of Ecolab where she spent the next 44 years, retiring in 1987.

Marianne lived in her parents home her entire life before moving to Episcopal Homes in 2011. She was devoted to the care of her mother after her father passed away in 1944. She was also devoted to her Catholic religion and was a lifelong member of St. Columba Parish. Marianne never learned to drive so she rode the bus to downtown St. Paul from her Midway home to work and was a valued customer of the Field-Schlick and Golden Rule department stores.

Marianne was a competitive long-blade, long course speed skater. She was also a loyal fan of Minnesota sports moving from the Twins to the Vikings to the Gophers with the change of seasons.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers Rich, Ed, and Herb Kriegler and is survived by many nieces and nephews and their children.
