| Published by The Bismarck Tribune on Nov. 21, 2023 - Bismark, North Dakota - LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - Marilyn Heinemeyer, 88, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2023, at Prestige Senior Living in Lake Havasu City, AZ. She is now at peace with the Lord. Marilyn Laverne Holgerson was born in Bismarck, ND on July 19, 1935. The youngest of eight children, she was raised on a farm near Wing, ND, and attended Wing High School. Shortly after graduating, Marilyn moved to Bismarck where she met her future husband, Raymond Heinemeyer, manager of Bismarck Municipal Airport. They were married in 1955 and raised four children: Monte, Trent, Tamara, and Darin. Marilyn was a loving and selfless mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Marilyn lived most of her life in Bismarck, but in later years she and Raymond began wintering in Lake Havasu City to be closer to Tammy, who now lived there. In the final years of her life, she became a full-time resident to enjoy the warmer climate year-round. A testament to her strength and resilience, Marilyn successfully battled and overcame rheumatoid arthritis and breast cancer. She enjoyed walking, golfing, bowling, writing poetry, gardening, and spending time at the lake cabin. Another favorite pastime was going to Las Vegas and Laughlin to hit the slots and video poker. She was either lucky or good, or both, at that as well. Marilyn volunteered for various causes and charities in Bismarck as well as the Lake Havasu City Senior Center. She was a lifelong member of the Elks Lodge. Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband Ray, who passed away in 1988, her son Trent in 2017, and all her seven siblings. She is survived by her children: Monte (Michelle Bachmeier), Bismarck, ND, Tammy (Tom) Pray, Lake Havasu City, AZ, Darin (Denise), Eagan, MN, daughter-in-law Bobbi (Trent's widow), Ft. Wayne, IN; grandchildren: Cody (Pam), Bismarck, ND, Calli (Clay) Hollenbeck, Driscoll, ND, Jacob, Ft. Wayne, IN, and Harlie, Tempe, AZ; great-grandchildren: Micah and Layken, Bismarck, ND, Hayes, Colt, and Nellie Marilyn, Driscoll, ND. Funeral arrangements to be determined at a later date.
