Obituary

Marles Dorothy Fischer was born on December 21, 1922, at home in Round Grove Township, McLeod County, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Henry and Eleonora (Zieman) Hesse. Marles was baptized as an infant, and later confirmed in her faith as a youth at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Brownton, Minnesota. She received her education at District 50 in Round Grove Township and Immanuel Lutheran School in Brownton.

On April 5, 1942, Marles was united in marriage to Harland Fischer at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Brownton. This marriage was blessed with five children, Donovan, Armon, Morris, Monica, and Farrel. Marles and Harland resided in Brownton. They shared 56 years of marriage before the passing of Harland in 1998.

Marles was employed at Fingerhut in Gaylord before she went to work in production at 3M in Hutchinson. She retired in 1986. Marles was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Brownton.

Marles enjoyed quilting, crocheting, baking, cooking, reading, and gardening. She made the BEST chocolate cake. Sometimes the cake would get eaten so fast that she immediately had to make another one. She also enjoyed spending time and fishing with her family, grandchildren and friends at their cabin on Lake Francis.

In July of 2020, when Marles required additional care, she moved to Woodstone Senior Living in Hutchinson, Minnesota. She liked to play the harmonica for the staff and residents and was crowned “Valentine Queen” this past February.

Marles passed away on Sunday, April 10, 2022, at Woodstone Senior Living, at the age of 99 years.

    I worked with Marles at 3M and she was one of the kindest, caring people I’d ever met there. Marles had a GREAT sense of humor (sometimes dry), but hung in there with all that happened as we worked all kinds of shift set ups, much overtime and through many changes. It wasn’t always easy raising a family and working the crazy hours, but I never saw Marles angry or without at least a little smile on her face. Proud to have known her through all those years. God’s blessings to you all and my sympathy.
