Marilyn A. Hasler, Fertile, MN, passed away, at age 76, on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at Fair Meadow Nursing Home in Fertile, MN.

Marilyn Ann (Olson) Hasler was born July 22, 1948 in Valley City, ND to Pearl (Regner) and Arthur Olson. Marilyn's early years were spent in Marion, ND where she attended elementary school. In 1960 Pearl married Ronald Seefeldt of Grand Rapids, ND. Marilyn attended and graduated from LaMoure HS in 1966. That summer she attended Valley City State College, graduating three years later with a major in biology and a math minor. She taught biology in Huron, SD 1969-1970 and married Dennis Hasler on June 26, 1970. She taught junior high math and science in Edgeley, ND 1970-1971.

In 1971 Marilyn and Dennis moved to Fertile, MN. They were blessed with three children, Ethan (1972), Kristen (1976) and Zachary (1978). After all three children were in school, Marilyn did some substitute teaching. She also worked in season at a tax office and was briefly the city librarian. Marilyn developed a deep interest in antiques and had an eagle eye for high-quality pieces at a bargain price. For several years she had an antique shop with a local shop owner.

Marilyn was a gifted craftswoman, working wonders with a sewing machine and hand stitching. She also crocheted, knit, did hardanger, wheat weaving, and basket weaving. She was active in Concordia Lutheran Church teaching Sunday school, vacation bible school, singing in the choir, working in the altar guild, and was active in women's bible study and prayer groups. Although afflicted with four major illnesses, three of them incurable, her strong Christian faith, the most important thing in her life, gave her the strength to live with grace and dignity.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Pearl and Arthur; and brother, Darrell Seefeldt. She is survived by her husband, Dennis; children, Ethan (Wendie) Hasler of East Grand Forks, MN; Kristen (Jimmy) of Los Angeles, CA, and  Zachary of Fargo, ND; sisters, Jane (Ken) Aller of Naples, FL, and Lisa (Jim) Zalusky of Mapleton, ND; brother, Chad Seefeldt of Grand Rapids, ND; grandchildren, Noah and Quindelynne; nieces, Tara and Melissa; and nephews, Travis and Christopher.
