After high school, she took the bus every week from home to Fargo, ND, where she attended business college and worked in a jewelry store. Her roommate, Rose Brown, introduced Marilyn to her brother, Ray, a Navy sailor. Marilyn married Ray on August 15, 1952, in Casselton, ND. The couple immediately moved to Billings, MT, where Ray worked as a cattle buyer for Armor. It was here that their three children were born. Opportunity at the Sioux Falls, SD Stockyards prompted their move. Marilyn worked as a bookkeeper and joined the Stockett’s helping to organize many festive events throughout the years. She would get up before 6am and walk with friends through the Sioux Falls Hilltop neighborhood. She enjoyed water activities as a member of the YMCA. Marilyn enjoyed sewing, was an excellent quilter, and member of numerous quilting groups. She sewed her daughter’s outfits when they were young and their dance dresses in their teen years. As an excellent cook, she baked and prepared meals for family and church members who always enjoyed her fare. She was also renowned for her special occasion cakes. She loved attending Lutheran Women’s Circle meetings and was a regular attendee of Grace Lutheran Church. She and Ray were often greeters. They enjoyed social and travel events with the church Shepherd group. Marilyn and Ray especially loved playing cards. They formed a pinochle group and Marilyn played regularly with a bridge club. Marilyn was blessed with seventy years of marriage before Ray passed. And now “the we” that she continued to refer to after losing the love of her life, Ray, in December 2022, shall become fulfilled as she joins him in Heaven.

Her children, Brenda (Chandler) Garrison, Barbara (Kim) Kusch, and Bradley (Marleen) Brown; ten grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren are grateful to have shared her life.

Funeral Services will begin at 4pm, Friday, September 8, 2023, with fellowship from 4:30pm to 7pm, at the Hiawatha Lodge, Pipestone, MN

Lorel Beth Vander Plaats was born on January 27, 1962, to Andrew and Harriett (DeBoer) Vander Plaats at the Pipestone County Medical Center. Her life began on a small farm by Edgerton, MN. At a young age, the family moved to a farm east of Ward, SD, on the Minnesota side of the border.

In 1977, she met Glenn Anderson at the drive-in, where Smokey and the Bandit was playing. She graduated high school in 1980. On October 18, 1980, Lorel and Glenn were married in Pipestone. She worked at Good Samaritan Society all of her years; in the laundry in high school and then as a nurse’s aide. In the 1990’s, she worked her way through nursing school, continuing to work at Good Sam until March 2020. She had been battling heart disease and COPD for seven years, at that time. Lorel was a very dedicated employee. Most years she never missed a day. She introduced the children to Good Sam at a young age and both became RN’s.

Lorel loved to read, but that didn’t change when the children were born; she then read to the kids out loud. A big Vikings fan, she had a miniature village complete with the old stadium. Camping and fishing became a big part of her entertainment; first with the children, then throughout her entire life. She even ice-fished a little. Her prize fish was a walleye, which was over ten pounds and thirty inches, caught on Lake Sara.

A loving mother, Lorel did whatever she had to, to see that all of their wants and needs were taken care of. It was the same with the grandchildren. Lorel was truly a wonderful and caring person; the best.

Lorel is survived by her husband, Glenn; children, Glenn (May) Anderson III, San Francisco, CA, and daughter, Kelly Jo (Michael) DeGroot, Crystal, MN; four grandchildren, Dexter, Aria, Alejandro, and Leslye; father-in-law, Glenn Anderson; Sr.; two brothers, Mike (Lynn) Vander Plaats, and Dan Vander Plaats; sisters, Vicky Anderson, and Barb (Rich) Rensberger; many nieces and nephews, having a close and special relationship with Lisa.

Lorel is preceded in death by her father, Andrew Vander Plaats; her mother, Harriett Vander Plaats; infant brother, Jeffrey Vander Plaats; sister, Sue Brands; brother, Joel Vander Plaats; brother-in-law, Arlen Anderson; and mother-in-law, Barbara Jean Anderson.

Lorel was the most caring and loving person that I know. I would like to thank everyone for coming to celebrate my wife’s life. Her ashes will be spread at Lake Sara(h), Lake Benton, Lake Shaokatan, and of course, some at Ihlen State Park. Those are our four favorite places.

Thank you! Glenn
