Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at First Christian Church in Minden with the Rev. Michael Schmidt officiating. Private family burial will be at Minden Cemetery before the memorial service. Layton-Craig Funeral Home in Minden is in charge of arrangements. MarJeanne was born in her grandparents’ farmhouse in North Branch, Kan., on Nov. 22, 1919, the daughter of Arvine and Wilma Thornton. Raised near Guide Rock, MarJeanne was the oldest of five children. Her siblings included two brothers, Daryl and Dean, and her sisters, Louise and Phyllis. They grew up on a farm with very little money but they grew all their own food and always had plenty of good food to eat. MarJeanne’s sister, Louise, set her up on a date with this cute coach, Emden “Sam” Somerhalder, who ended up being the love of her life and her groom on June 1, 1939. In 1942, they had their son, Sam, and 16 years later their daughter, Sandra, completed their family. Sadly, Emden’s life was cut short by a heart attack in 1968, but MarJeanne persevered and graduated from college three months later at age 49. She taught mostly third grade at Minden Public School for 16 years and was extremely active in the Minden Christian Church, especially with the Women’s Fellowship group. She was an avid traveler and bridge player and had many friends. She was loved and admired by all who knew her, especially by her two children, their spouses, her three grandchildren and her 10 great-grandchildren, and many granddogs whom she would often visit and even travel with and baby-sit.
