We are so sorry for your loss. Sending our condolences and thinking of you during this difficult time.
I had the privilege and fun of working with Marty at ISD #917. We were both involved in the union and crossed paths pretty frequently. We worked at different sites so it was a joy to see her. She was fun funny and absolutely inappropriate! Just what we needed. I’m so sorry for your loss. She will be remembered with a big smile! God bless and peace to you.
TO Marty’s Family, So sorry for your loss. I worked with Marty at McGuire Junior high when I was a para. She helped me to decide to become a teacher, and now I am a teacher at ISD917. She was a great friend, co-worker and mentor. I will miss her! Lynn Morris
I absolutely adored her growing up in Scandia, especially at Scandia Elementary ❤️Your family is in my thoughts and Prayers.
“Marty” will remain in our hearts forever. She brought so much love and laughter over the past 50 years to our card club. We will never forget her.
Though I never met Marty, I admired her work in our shared family history. She scanned and uploaded documents and photos that will be accessible to generations in the future. She was a diligent researcher, thoroughly documenting her work. We have lost a valued volunteer. I send sympathies to her family and friends.
Sorry to hear about ila. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, I knew her from coming up to Birchwood to visit her mother in law. She had a kind soul. She would always come every Wednesday and Sunday no matter what. Rest In Peace dear. Crystal (the Sunday nurse at Birchwood)
With loving memories of “Ila Rigwald”, we will miss seeing her at the Festival of Nations and the yearly Appreciation Dinner.
