Marian was born on April 10, 1935, the daughter of Wilfred and Isabelle (Meyer) Zimmer, in St. Michael, Minn. She attended school and graduated from Elk River High School and moved to rural Unity. Marian was united in marriage to William “Bill” Haas, Jr. on April 23, 1955, in Albertville, Minn. Together they farmed in the Town of Hull until retiring in 1995. After 59 joyful years of marriage, Bill passed away on January 2, 2015.
Marian was an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church and the Christian Mother’s Organization. Marian’s passion was being a farm wife and mother who held many roles, milking cows and baling hay to feeding the hungry men during fieldwork time. She enjoyed mowing lawn, photography, gardening and baking. Marian was most proud of the many entertaining events with her family, no matter how big or small. Her cookie jar was always full for visits with family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William “Bill” Haas, Jr.; her son, Larry Haas; her parents; four brothers: Harold, Allen, Leroy and Donald; three sisters: Dorothy, Catherine and Madeline; and three stepbrothers: Melvin, Richard and Normie Zimmer.
