Marion J. Yordi, age 101, passed away on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 at Grande Prairie Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Born on March 18, 1919 in Kenosha, Marion was the daughter of the late Otto and Anna (Kasberg) Nelson.

On April 2, 1941, she married Carl Yordi of Kenosha. Carl passed away in July 1994.

Marion was a member of the Women’s Club of Kenosha, the Kenosha Hospital Auxiliary, and a longtime member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

She worked for many years at Korf’s women’s apparel.  She loved meeting her friends for coffee and playing the organ for Carl.  Her favorite hobby in later years was needlepoint.  Her creations could be seen everywhere in her house: pictures, bell pulls, cushions, pillows and foot stools.

She is survived by her children, Sharon Sadlon of Mesa, AZ and Arlene (Martin) Ciotti of Carpentersville, IL, sister Lorraine Turner of Kenosha; four grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
