Marian E. Walsh
Marian Eldora (Kellogg) Walsh was born breech on August 2, 1944 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, MN, the daughter of Leon and Constance (Crosby) Kellogg. Her uncommon arrival set the tone for the strength and fortitude she carried with her all her life.
She married Joseph Leonard Walsh on February 13, 1965, a union that lasted 58 years until his passing in 2023. Together, Marian and Joe had five children, Timothy (Pam), Kellie, Jody (Toby), James (Nichole), and Joseph (Brooke).
She was surrounded by the love of her children as she passed. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and brother Morris (Sue). She cherished her 10 grandchildren: Elizabeth, Pat, and Josh (Hailey) Walsh, Matthew (Eujeana), Alison, and Joe (Saundra) Hinkle, and Truman, Keen, Tesla, and Roosevelt Walsh, and three great-grandchildren, Adalyn, Zander, and Emerson. She was preceded in death by her husband and parents.
Marian was raised in Jordan Township and graduated from Wykoff High School in 1962. Marian was a true matriarch who protected and cared for her husband, all of her children, grandchildren and many across her extended family and community. After raising her children, she embarked on a career with faith organizations retiring from Christ United Methodist Church in Rochester.
After her family, her great love was the garden, where she spent years growing organic produce from the exceptional land she and Joe managed all their married life. Marian had uncommon resilience and stamina as she overcame lymphoma for more than 20 years with treatments and kind encouragement provided by Dr. Luis F. Porrata and many care providers at Mayo Clinic.
Visitation will be held on Friday, March 1, 2024 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Macken Funeral Home in Rochester, MN and one hour prior to the service on Saturday, March 2. The Funeral Mass will be at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 2 at St. Ignatius with Fr. Marreddy Pothireddy officiating. Burial will be in St. Kilian Cemetery in Wykoff, MN.
Condolences
The family of Marian E. Walsh has received the following condolences.
My sympathy to the family on Marian's death. I met many of you at your dad's visitation but I know you don't really know me. I have fond memories of your mom from the time I was very young . We visited your grandparents home often during those years. I have always enjoyed talking with your mom when we ran into each other here and there. She will be missed.
Tim and family:
My deepest sympathy to you. Cherish the wonderful and precious memories of Marian in your heart and she will always be with you.

I attended Jordan Country School District 97 with Marian. Marian's father, Leon, was on the school board at the time. We were farm neighbors to the family. We always had a good time playing games and doing our school classes together with Morris and Marian. It was a one room stone school so all eight grades were processed each hour. It was an unforgetable time in all our lives. I express my sympathy for members of Marian's family. I am sure she will be Missed.
