Family and friends will remember a longtime Monticello resident and former businessperson in the city at a life celebration today (Thursday).
Marie Flicker passed away at a Duluth hospital on April 1st at the age of 77.
Marie was a 1966 graduate of Pierz High School, and attended college in Brainerd, later beginning her career at St. Cloud State University.
For 30 years, Marie and her husband Marn owned and operated Flicker’s TV & Appliance in Monticello.
Family members say Marie had a courageous kind of empathy, and turned her personal journey as an amputee into a mission of service. She empowered others to live with faith and resilience.
The Flicker’s retired to Grand Rapids in 2006, where Marie was a dedicated member of the St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, and a member of the Philanthropic Education Organization, or PEO.
A visitation and life celebration for Marie Flicker will be held today at the St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages contributions to; www.wiggleyourtoes.org.
