Read More	Marvin Marius Jorgensen, the son of Marius and Anna (Nielsen) Jorgensen, was born February 25, 1928 at his parents’ home in Shelby County near Kimballton, Iowa and died February 7, 2021 at the Taylor House in Des Moines, Iowa at the age of 92 years, 11 months, and 12 days. Marvin was baptized and confirmed at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Kimballton. He attended Shelby County rural schools then graduated from the Elk Horn High School with the Class of 1946. In 1947, Marvin was united in marriage to Darlene Pauley in Harlan, Iowa. They were blessed with three children, Michael, Mark, and Roxann. They purchased a farm west of Exira, where they grew row crops and raised livestock. Over time, Marvin purchased and operated numerous farms. He was always concerned with soil conservation, and with each farm he purchased, he visualized the terraces and ponds which needed to be built to improve the production of the land and maintain its soil base. In 1955, Marvin purchased the hog buying station in Brayton, Iowa, and in the 1960s, Marvin purchased the Sale Barn in Kimballton, Iowa. He developed Jorgensen Brokerage in Kimballton and had seats on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the New Orleans Cotton and Rice Exchange, and the Chicago Board of Trade, as well as memberships on the Monetary Exchange and Mid American for mini contracts. Marvin was also a board member of Heinold Commodities Prestige Club for top brokers. In 1974, he married Doris Sorensen. Marvin continued to operate his many farms and later sold the hog buying station and the Kimballton Sale Barn. He also moved Jorgensen Brokerage from Kimballton to Audubon. Marvin had been a member of the Exira Lutheran Church. He was a visionary and many times could see what needed to be done in the local communities and gave freely and many times anonymously to help improve them. He helped the Exira Lutheran Church provide a home for the pastors to live, he was instrumental in providing medical services in the county from the Mayo Clinic, and he gave generously to help to bring to reality the new structure for the Exira Care Center and many other meaningful gestures of kindness. Marvin was preceded in death by his wives, Darlene Jorgensen and Doris Jorgensen; his grandchildren, Holly Jorgensen and Brian Jorgensen; his parents, Marius and Anna Jorgensen; his brother, Bervin Jorgensen; his sisters, Carol and husband, Dale Miller and Ardis Wolf; and his brother-in-law, Al Rubel.
