Marilyn was born in La Crosse on Sept. 5, 1926, to Herbert and Joyce (Worthingham) Smevog. She married Donald St. Mary on Nov. 18, 1948, in Winona, Minn. The oldest of five children, she got an early start in her lifelong career as a caregiver. Marilyn selflessly devoted her life to the care and nurture of others - first as a sibling, then as a nurse for 42 years, primarily at Caledonia Hospital, a wife for 56 years and a mother for 54 years. She was the greatest woman that we knew. After a lifetime of living to care for others, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend was stricken with Alzheimer's Disease. Marilyn is survived by her beloved husband, Donald J. St. Mary; her children, Jeanne (Owen) Skelly of Chicago, Steven of San Jose, Calif., and Sharon St. Mary (Tom Lind) of St. Paul, Minn.; two grandchildren, Breanna (Bryan) Radtke of Vernon Hills, Illinois, and Elizabeth (Joseph) Cerrentano of Evergreen Park, Ill.; one great-granddaughter, Sydney Skelly of Evergreen Park, Ill.; one brother, John (Diane) Smevog; two sisters, Carol (Jack) Preeschl and Lynette (Donald) Svoboda; and nieces and nephews. Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Wayne Smevog. Note that her obit does not mention her surviving half-sister, Joan Hengel Buehrle.
