Columnist 'Marj' Leegard passed away, wrote for 'Lutheran Woman Today': warmly missed by Peter Menkin

The ELCA statement tells us: Marj keeps an updated list of favorite hymns she wants sung at her funeral

. Jerome says Marj wants "a funeral in the afternoon, a concert in the evening." Her list includes "Thy Holy Wings," "Borning Cry," and "Take My Hand, Precious Lord,"

A funeral service for Leegard is scheduled for 2 p.m. July 16 at Richwood Lutheran Church, Detroit Lakes. Leegard became a member of Richwood in 1944, after she wed Jerome Leegard there in 1942. She has served as president of the congregation and the Richwood Lutheran Parish Council.

"Through her writing, speaking and in conversations, Marj has consistently invited us to live in the wonder of God's grace," the Rev. Mark S. Hanson, ELCA presiding bishop, wrote in a July 14 letter to Leegard's husband, family and friends.
