Marlys loved a good fish fry. She loved socializing with people and always carried a positive view on life. She enjoyed playing cards and was competitive in doing so because she played for “keeps”.

If you missed a move, she would capitalize on it. Marlys’ family meant the world to her; she truly enjoyed spending quality time with all of them. During the summers, Marlys and Richard enjoyed living in the lakes area and tending to their vegetable gardens.

Marlys’ family will miss her Sunday phone calls and her smile that would always light up the room. Marlys is survived by her five children: Deb (Rick) Strozyk, Rick (Laurie) Bodem, Kim (Guy) Davis, Todd (Kathy) Bodem and Annette (Yianny) Caparos. In addition she is survived by many grandchildren: Andy, Ashley, Jacob, Kevin, Katie and Corey, Travis and Katie, Claudia, Henry, George, Oliver, Demi, Victoria and Yianny Jr along with one great-granddaughter, Kennedy.

Loved ones that cleared the path for Marlys include her husband: Richard Bodem, her parents: Arnold and Gladys Christenson, two brothers: Harold and Mike (Joan) Christenson, two brothers-in-law: Vernon Hanson and Gunnar Husby, step-father: Clarence Bergo and one granddaughter: Cecelia Bodem. The family would like to thank Lincoln Park Assisted living staff and Red River Valley Hospice for the loving care given to Marlys at the end of her life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are preferred to Hospice of the Red River Valley, 1111 US Hwy 10, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501.
