Marilyn was born on August 14, 1940 in Clarence, Iowa to Elmer and Leona Helmold Conrad. She married Alden Klahn on March 5, 1960 at Lowden, Iowa. Survivors include her husband Alden; son Gary (Kim) of Lowden; daughter Denise (Gregg) Block of DeWitt; grandchildren Kaleb (Kaylie) Klahn, Kody (Cassie) Klahn, Justin (Jessica) Block, Lucas (Rachel Dehmlow) Block; great grandchildren Keegan, Kennedy, Gunner, Wesson and Gauge Klahn, and Ellerie Block; and also a brother Merlin Conrad of Lowden. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother Roland in infancy; and sister in law Carma Conrad. Music was a big part of Marilyn's life - she taught herself how to play the organ, and was the organist for 40 years at Zion, and she also played the piano for Zion's church services at the Clarence Nursing Home. She enjoyed cards, eating out (especially if she had a coupon), and all the cats she had on the farm. She was a volunteer at North Cedar Elementary School for many years and really enjoyed the kids. Marilyn enjoyed her grandkids and truly loved her family. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Zion UCC or Camp Courageous.
