Burial will take place at 3:30 p.m. Monday in the Central City Cemetery at Central City. Home for Funerals Mortuary in Norfolk is in charge of the arrangements. The daughter of Bernard and Agnes McHargue, Marilyn Jeanne McHargue was born on May 24, 1936, in Central City. She graduated from Central City High School in 1954 and was a member of the National Honor Society and had the lead in the school opera. Thereafter she attended and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1958 with a Bachelor’s in Teaching. While in college she was a member and Vice President of her sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, and a member of the May Day Court. On Aug. 10, 1958, she married William (Bill) W. Alexander in Central City. The couple then lived in Germany, where Bill was stationed in the U.S. Army and Marilyn taught children with Down syndrome and other challenges. They were also in Germany when the Berlin Wall was erected. The couple returned to the United States in 1962 and was stationed at Fort Sam Houston, where their son, William W. Alexander Jr., was born. The couple moved back to Grand Island in 1962 where their daughter, Caroline Alexander, was born in 1965. In 1966, Marilyn and Bill and their family moved to Norfolk, where Bill, a pharmacist, eventually bought Westgate Drug Store in 1969 and Marilyn opened Marilyn’s Hallmark Card & Gift Shop in downtown Norfolk in 1970. She eventually moved her store to Sunset Mall in 1977 until her retirement from business. While running her store, Marilyn’s Hallmark was always a Gold Crown Store of Excellence and one of the top 5 percent revenue-producing stores in the Western Region of the United States, despite competing against other stores in larger metropolitan areas, and at one time was one of the largest Hallmark Stores in the United States. She served on the Gold Crown Store Advisory Board for Hallmark Cards. Marilyn was on the Retailers Advisory Board for Gift and Decorative Accessories Association. She also brought Hallmark artists and Hummel figurine artists to Norfolk on numerous occasions to meet the public and provide demonstrations of their art. Marilyn was the first woman elected Chairman of the Downtown Merchants’ Association in 1975 and later the first woman President of the Sunset Mall Merchants Association. She served on the Norfolk Library Board and also served on the Norfolk School Board Budget Committee as the Community and Parents Representative. She was on the Northeast Nebraska Technical Community College Business Marketing and Management Advisory Committee and also served with S.C.O.R.E. after her retirement, helping new business owners start and run their businesses. She also served as the first Protestant to be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Norfolk Catholic School Charities Foundation. In addition to the above, Marilyn also found time to be the President of the PTA, a Den Mother, a Brownie Leader, a parent leader with Boy Scout Troop 122; and President of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Mothers’ Club. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend to all. Survivors include her husband of 58 years, Bill Alexander; her son, William W. Alexander Jr., and his wife, Robin Harman, of Plano, Texas; her daughter, Caroline Garder of Norfolk; five grandchildren, Michael Garder of Louisville, Ky.; Christopher Garder and Amanda Garder of Norfolk, and Andrew Alexander and McKenna Alexander of Plano, Texas. Marilyn was preceded in death by her younger brother, Terry McHargue of Central City.
