Maren Linn Kissell
Maren Linn Kissell came into our lives on October 7, 2003 weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces. We were elated that Baby Number 2 was a girl. She quickly had us wrapped around her little finger -- especially Daddy. She grew up in Centerville as a petite little girl. Along the way she ran into some challenging times such as being diagnosed with SVT (a fast heart rate) at 13 months and she had to have emergency surgery for Intussusception (when the intestine folds in on itself like a telescope) at age four. On October 16, 2006, her favorite play buddy, Rylen was born. The Kissells moved to Scandia in October of 2007. Maren attended Scandia Preschool and really started to blossom there. Her favorite things to do were to play babies and tea parties with Rylen, play on the computer -- puter as she called it and to play with friends at daycare and in the neighborhood. Marens death was unexpected, but she was doing the things she loved to do most -- running and playing with friends and Logan and Rylen. Maren will be deeply missed by her parents, Jeff and Jen; big brother, Logan; little sister, Rylen; grandparents, Darlene Maether and Curt Blegen and Mary and Linden Kissell; aunt, Amy (Larry) Selberg; uncles, Keith (Sue) Kissell and Steve (Shelly) Kissell; other relatives and friends. Visitation 2-6 PM Sunday, April 19th at Roberts Family Funeral Home, 555 Centennial Drive SW, Forest Lake. Funeral service 1 PM Monday, April 20th at Elim Lutheran Church, 20971 Olinda Trail North, Scandia with visitation beginning one hour prior to service. Interment Elim Lutheran Cemetery, Scandia.
My son Jordan went to preschool at the ECFE with Maren. We were sorry to hear of your loss. I just wanted you to know that he prays for Maren’s family every night. If I forget, even one night, he reminds me to “pray for Maren.” Your little girl was very special to have made such an impact on my son.
Sincerely,
Angela Schroer
