Marian Louise, daughter of Adolph and Velma (Weddle) Meyer, was born May 6, 1923, near Emma, Missouri. On March 25, 1951, she married Henry Kehr who preceded her in death on September 29, 1998.

Marian was a graduate of Sweet Springs High School in 1941 and Central Missouri University in 1950.  She taught several years, mainly at Concordia and Brookfield.  She was a member of the Wheeling Christian Church and a past member of Mothers’ Club. Marian was the quintessential homemaker and family caregiver, preparing meals and yummy desserts from scratch, with the produce of a garden akin to a truck farm.  In 2000, Marian and her long-time friend and colleague joined a group tour and traveled to northern Europe, highlighted by a performance of the Passion Play in Oberammergav, Germany.

Her parents and one grandson, Scott Kehr preceded her in death.
