Marilyn Fintel, age 79, died on January 25th in Northfield. Marilyn worked in the Carleton Library for 29 years, beginning as an assistant in circulation in 1976 and retiring as the Library Associate in Government Documents in 2005. She took her role in processing government documents and making them accessible to the public very seriously and built a large and loyal group of student workers to help in this effort.
Former colleagues describe Marilyn as always upbeat and positive. She built lasting friendships with many of her student and staff co-workers, as well as with the high school foreign exchange students her family hosted. Marilyn’s husband, Fred, who worked for Sodexho for a few years, died in 2003.
Visitation will be at Bierman Funeral Home on Sat., Feb 4th, from 3-5pm. A more complete obituary from the family will be forthcoming.
