On June 6, 1948, she was united in marriage to Robert C. McIntosh in Moorhead. They established their home in Moorhead where they opened the Moorhead Tastee Freeze in the mid 1950’s. Marian and Robert operated the Tastee Freeze until 1959 when they began leasing the business for many years. In 1969, they moved to a farmstead near Comstock, MN, and later returned to Moorhead in 1984. It was at this time Marian earned her Real Estate License and began selling real estate in the Fargo/Moorhead area. In 1997, they moved to Littleton, CO, until 2000, when they moved to Herman, MN. Robert passed away in 2005. Over the last number of years, Marian has lived in Minnesota and Colorado before settling at Bethany Assisted Living in Fargo.
