Marilyn Jane Halloran

• 

Marilyn Jane Halloran, born April 27, 1944. Passed away April 9, 2024, peacefully. Marilyn was born in Harvey, North Dakota and raised by her grandparents. She often spoke about her experiences on their farm and the love she had for them. She and her mother moved to St. Paul in 1950. She graduated from Harding High School and later from the University of Minnesota with a major in Communication in 1981 and was selected to give the final speech at graduation. She loved cooking; and design, particularly refurbishment, and construction; art; history; social issues, the list goes on. Her vitality and capacity to listen and communicate made her an attractive and sought after personality. Her employment in 1982 was with Fort Road Medical Specialists as the Administrator for a Consortium of 5 different medical specialties offered a challenge she craved. By the turn of the Century the Consortium was replaced with individual practices. She had been selected by the St. Paul Infectious Disease Associates (SPIDA) as their executive administrator. This was a job she loved, worked at it for 30 years, and considered the physicians part of her family. Marilyn is survived by her husband Bill, and two daughters, Amy and Jody. She has three grandchildren, born of Amy and Eric, Max and Greta whom she adored, and Lauren born of Jody and Jim. We found a note she had recently written that we were touched by: "Let the light in you lead the way." A visitation will be held from 4-6 pm, Saturday, April 27 with a time of sharing at 5:30 pm at Roseville Memorial Chapel, 2245 Hamline Ave. N., Roseville MN. Roseville Memorial Chapel 651-631-2727
