     Marion Jean Clark was born to Avery Charles and Genevieve Marion (Schmidt) Clark on November 2, 1923, in Lemmon, SD.  She spent her childhood on the family ranch near Keldron, SD.  Following graduation from Lemmon High School, Marion furthered her education at Northern Normal and Industrial School (now Northern State University) in Aberdeen and received her teaching certificate.

     Marion was united in marriage to Francis E. Guhin on November 27, 1942, in Webster, SD.  They renewed their vows at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Aberdeen later that year.  The couple made Aberdeen their home, where Marion was employed at St. Luke’s Hospital.  Many may remember “Mrs. Guhin” as their Labor & Delivery nurse’s aide at St. Luke’s where she worked until age 70.  Marion and Francis raised eleven children and shared over 66 years of marriage before he passed away on May 19, 2009.  Marion continued to reside in Aberdeen until the time of her death.  

     Marion’s family wishes to express their appreciation to the entire staff at Bethesda Home of Aberdeen for their compassion and the wonderful care given to Marion since she became a resident in 2010.
