She was employed at the First National Bank and Macalester College before marrying Victor (Buck) Buchanan in 1949. Together they raised three children: Kit, Mark and Jay. After Buck’s retirement they moved to Longville, MN, where they’d had a cabin since 1961 and fallen in love with the Northwoods.
Marian grew up loving skating and became quite accomplished. She also enjoyed fishing and was invariably the one with the largest and most fish.
Marian was devotedly involved in St.
Marian is welcomed to her new home by her parents, two sisters and their spouses, three nieces, one nephew, her special grandmother Tina and the love of her life and travel partner Buck.
