Obituary of Mary Frances Loken

Mary Frances Witczek met the love of her life, Larry Lee Loken, in small cafe on Lyndale Ave in North Minneapolis, when they were in grade school. They shared 54 amazing years of marriage & 3 children, Timothy Loken, Wendy (Daryl) Zahnow and Melissa (Troy) Abraham.  They enjoyed many unforgettable memories on Ten Mile Lake MN for years with their grandsons, Brandon Zahnow(Liz), Adam Loken (Johanna), Alex Loken(Hailey) and Luke Loken.  More years of memories followed in their little white house in St Michael MN and winters in Destin Florida with grandson Grant Abraham and granddaughter Macey Abraham.   Mary  was blessed with 3 great grandchildren as well, Nora, Alma, and Lucy. She is survived by her sisters Janice Sorenson, Carol Hase, Lynn Hunke and Marilee Witczek. She was preceded in death by parents Leo and Ione, husband Larry, brothers Leon Witczek, Thomas  Witczek, Richard Witczek, James Witczek; sisters, Sharon Jones, Shirley Hogan, Gloria Chapman, Teri White, Judy Dahlman, Patricia Hogan. Mary was always planning a perfect party, whether for her sisters, family or friends. Because of her her schooling in Interior and Floral design, she always went that extra mile to make things just so for any Holidays, and special events. She enjoyed some years with the Red Hat Society in St. Michael, as well as her garden club, as flowers were a true love of hers. She also enjoyed a lot of fun dinners, card games, Bingo and vacations with her special friend Perry Wagamon and Barbara Struckman. Though we will miss her deeply, we are happy she is pain free and re-united with her Larry Lee. There will be a celebration of her Life on Saturday May 18th in Minnesota, location TBD.
