Marian S. Wulff, 83 of Twin Falls died Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at Oak Creek Rehabilitation Center in Kimberly after complications from a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Marian was born August 17, 1927 in a log home near Ten Mile, Oregon to Melvin and Nannie Meador. The birth itself was a miracle as Nannie gave birth to Marian alone with only Marians seven year old brother to help. Marian graduated from Yakima High School with honors in 1946, after being selected to the National Honor Society. At age 21, she moved to San Antonio for several years before relocating to Boise, where she gave birth to her son, Mike and then a daughter Jan. In 1969 Marian moved again, this time taking her family to Dallas where she worked in the FBI's Field Office. Within a few years, she returned to Boise to embark on career with the US Postal Service. During this time, she met and eventually married Charles "Bill" Wulff. She retired in 1985 at the Post Master of Filer, before coming out of retirement in 1988 to care for her grandson, William. She worked as a bailiff for the Twin Falls Judiciary System before leaving to work at Immanual Lutheran and Oregon Trail Elementary, in order to see her grandson.
Marian was a devout woman who took her faith quite seriously, even helping to found the Jail Ministries, a program where women from local churches make weekly visits to the jail to try and help the inmates. She was a woman of good humor and strong character and charmed everyone whom she met. Marian was also a lover of music and litature.
