Obituary for Marilyn M. Hubenette
Marilyn Mae (Tollefson) Hubenette, 80, resident of Luck, WI, died Monday, April 15, 2013 at the Burnett Medical Center in Grantsburg, WI.
Marilyn was born in St. Croix Falls, WI on May 11, 1932 to Mae and Wesley Tollefson.
Marilyn grew up in Luck, WI, except for the three years they lived in Milltown, WI. She graduated from Luck High School in 1950 where she was active in band, choir, Pep Club, church choir and Girl Scouts. Marilyn then attended Hamline University (School of Nursing) in MN and received her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing Degree in 1954. Soon after Marilyn married Glenn Hubenette and moved to St Paul, MN where she worked at several different kinds of nursing facilities.
In 1964 they adopted two children, Karin and Karl, and then in 1967 they moved the family to a farm near Alexandria, MN. In 1981 Marilyn divorced and moved back to Luck, WI to be near her mother, Mae and step-father, Marius Petersen. Over the next 18 years Marilyn worked at the Continuing Care Center in Grantsburg, WI and kept busy involving herself in singing with the Sweet Adelines, hobbies like miniature doll house and furniture making, being active in long-time memberships with the Legion Auxiliary, and the Luck Lutheran Church.
As time went on, Marilyn’s Mom needed more and more care, so in 1991 Marilyn retired and moved in with her Mom to care for her full time until she passed in 1997.
Over the last few years Marilyn has been excited about the whole evolution of the Luck Area Historical Society. She became a charter member and has loved donating items to the museum.
Marilyn is survived by her daughter, Karin (Hubenette) Jensen from Des Moines, IA; son, Karl Hubenette and wife Trina from Alexandria, MN; grandchildren, Jesse, Shanna, Kyla and Nicole; great-grandchildren, Madison and Isabella; niece, Nancy (Tollefson) Schrader and family from Grays Lake, IL.
