Marceline died on Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011, at Good Samaritan Society in Albert Lea. She was 85.

Born on Sept. 23, 1925, in rural Wells, the daughter of Otto and Ida (Boeck) Wille, Marceline graduated from Wells High School, lived with her cousin in Portland, Ore., for a year, and then worked in Minneapolis for a short time.

On April 12, 1950, she married Jenning Fure in Wells. They farmed and made their home in rural Kiester for many years. While in Kiester, she had been an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church. Since moving to Albert Lea 28 years ago, she was a faithful member of Salem Lutheran Church, where she enjoyed the “Sew and Tell” quilting group and participating in Bible study.

Marceline enjoyed tending her garden which included beautiful flowers and a plentiful harvest of vegetables. Her dill pickles were undoubtedly “the best.”

She had many interests which included all kinds of music, dancing, playing cards, traveling and watching baseball, especially the Minnesota Twins.
