Marlys Ann (Ruud) Dunlop, age 86, of Austin, Minnesota, died peacefully with her family at her side on Monday, July 1, 2024, at Ecumen Pathstone Crossing in Mankato, Minnesota. Marlys was born on May 17, 1938, in Austin to Melvin and Madeline (Fruth) Ruud. She graduated from Pacelli High School. Marlys married the love of her life, John F. “Jack” Dunlop, on July 11, 1959, at St. Augustine Catholic Church. Marlys was co-owner of the Windfall Craft and Gift Store for 37 years. What she cherished most was her time with her family and friends. We will remember most of all the kind and sweet woman Marlys was to everyone.
Marlys is survived by her five daughters, Sheri (Jim) Fedson, Cindy (Greg) Uher, Laurie (Scott) Goodew, Joni (Donald) Starry, and Kari (Marc) Gale; 13 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Barbara (John) Felten, Marjorie Petersen, and Jeanette Dunlop; brothers-in-law, Tom (Lisa) Dunlop, Dan Bauer, Clarence Horejsi, and Cliff Reed; and many nieces and nephews. Marlys was preceded in death by her husband, Jack; parents; brothers, Richard (Sandra) Ruud and Donald Ruud; sister, Janet Bauer; brothers-in-law, James (Judy) Dunlop and Robert Dunlop; and sisters-in-law, Debbie Horejsi, and Nancy Reed.
Marlys spent her last years living with her daughters before moving to Mankato to reside at Ecumen Pathstone Crossing Memory Care. We cannot thank the staff of Ecumen enough for the care, compassion, and love shown to our mom. A special thank you to Beth Pooley and Ecumen Hospice. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Ecumen Pathstone, Ecumen Hospice, or an organization of your choice.
The Mass of Christian Burial for Marlys will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 8, 2024, at Queen of Angels Catholic Church with Father Gregory Leif officiating. The visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at church. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery, Austin. Worlein-Hoff Funeral Homes are assisting the family with arrangements.
