Obituary
Marilyn Mundahl, 81, of Spearfish, passed away on May 7, 2012 at Spearfish Regional Hospital.
Marilyn was born on December 8, 1930 to Murrel and Agnes (Olson) Lewis in Hettinger, ND. She was baptized in the Evangelical United Bretheran Church. She started grade school at Ellingson, SD, and graduated from Hettinger High School in 1949. She attended Black Hills Teachers College and earned a teaching certificate. She then taught at Johnson School, in SD for one year. She married Robert Mundahl on June 19, 1950, which was the last wedding in that church, and to this union four children were born. At age 25, she joined the Lutheran Church. Robert and Marilyn worked the farm in Perkins County until 1993 when they retired to Spearfish. In addition to raising her children, through the years she was a substitute teacher and taught piano lessons. She was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Spearfish.
Marilyn was blessed with an amazing musical talent. Music was an integral, essential part of her life and she shared her gifts with the community in many ways. She taught piano lessons to many children, and played for countless social and church groups. She was a member of the Hometowners Singing Group, and accompanied the Borderline Singers men's group. Until the time of her death, she played for the Spearfish Senior's Center and the David M. Dorsett Healthcare Center. Her love of music was shared with all of her children and grandchildren, and will be a lasting legacy for which we will always be thankful.
Survivors include her daughter Marla (Tom) Braaten, Hettinger; sons, Michael (Teri) Mundahl, Billings, MT and Thomas (Susan) Mundahl, St. Louis Park, MN; seven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother, Bob (Helen) Lewis, Hettinger; and sister, Pat (Bill) Ohnemus, Spearfish; sister-in-law Joyce Isakson, Spokane, WA. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, son, Douglas Dean, grandson Kris Braaten and brother-in-law Gayle Isakson.
Memorial services will be at 10:30 A.M. on Thursday, May 10, 2012 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church with Pastor Karen Matuska officiating. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established to Our Saviors Lutheran Church.
