Weiman, 82, of West Main Street, wife of Roger, and formerly of West Main Street, Constableville, passed away on Monday, September 29, 2008, at Lewis County General Hospital in Lowville after a brief illness. A native of Camby, MN, she was born on November 28, 1925, a daughter of Christian and Elsie Gustofson Satre. Marion grew up in Minnesota, and she graduated from high school in Minneapolis.

During WWII, she played and sang in a musical group, entertaining soldiers in different locations throughout Minnesota. On April 13, 1946, Marion was united in marriage with Roger G. Weiman at the Baptist Church of Minneapolis. The couple moved to the groom's hometown of Constableville, where they purchased the former Leo Frank farm on West Main Street with Roger's brother and sister-in-law, Arsa and Judy Weiman.
