Marj Knaus

POLSON — Marj Knaus departed Polson on Oct. 27, 2006, en route to a far better place.

Marj was born in Buffalo on June 17, 1920, to Clarence D. and Dollie D. Rung. Marj graduated from Stanford High School in 1936 and moved with her family to Polson (Valley View) after graduation. She married Carl L. Knaus in November 1938.

Her husband Carl, her parents Clarence and Dollie Rung, sister Maxine Proctor, daughter Carla J. (Knaus) Hahn, and son Gary Lee Knaus preceded Marj in death.

Her two sons and daughters-in-law, Jim and Andie Knaus of Polson and Kevin and Luisa Knaus of Menomonie, Wis., a sister Mayme Mullis of Kalispell, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins survive her.

Marj served many years as the Lake County Treasurer. She lived a full rich life and was loved by all who had the good fortune to be called her friend. We will all miss her wit, humor, and infectious laugh.

The family requests that memorial donations be made in the name of Marj Knaus to the Polson Community Church, 1814 1st Street East, Polson, MT 59860.

A memorial service is pending and will be announced when the date and time have been confirmed. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Grogan Funeral Home & Crematory.
