• 

Peltoniemi, Marilyn Lois (Baglien) Age 86, of Minneapolis, passed away on Thursday, February 26, 2015, after a brief hospitalization at Hennepin County Medical Center, surrounded by her children. A strong woman who survived 50 years of multiple sclerosis, Marilyn had a joyful spirit that helped her overcome several other illnesses. She was imbued with faith, friendliness and a kindly manner that radiated outward to family, friends and strangers, alike. Marilyn was an avid reader, gardener, proud Norwegian and Swede, genealogist of the Baglien family, bridge player and a Twins' fan from the first at-bat. Though deeply missed, we know she is now with her husband, Carl, Sr., cheering for Harmon and Kirby in spring training. Her favorite cheer was "Hit one for the old lady!" Marilyn is survived by her children, Eric (Rosa), Carl "Kip" (Mary) and Joan Tait (Bob), five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by sister Mildred, father Syverin, mother Sophie (Erickson), brother Loren and husband Carl.
