About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association.

DONNELLAN FAMILY FUNERAL SERVICES Obituary

Marian was born in Caledonia, MN on February 19, 1920. She was the seventh child born to Emilia Koob and John Schieber and had a twin sister, Mary who became Sister Martha after joining the Sisters of St. Agnes. Her father, John died before Marian was born. The family moved to Evanston, IL to get help with the children from Emilia's sisters.

Marian went to St. Nicholas grade school in Evanston and was taught by the Sisters of St. Agnes. She had four brothers and two sisters. Her older sister died in her early 20's from an illness and three of her four brothers started farming and went on to have large families in Oklahoma. Her brother, Anthony stayed in Evanston where he returned from serving in the Army. He married and had eight children.

Marian worked at Lytton's department store, Washington National Insurance Co. and then at DePaul University, where she retired. During this time Marian stayed in the family home and was a caregiver to her mother until her death. Marian was a lifelong parishioner at St. Nicholas Church and served in many capacities there. She was also a member of the Catholic Woman's Club in Evanston and involved at the local YMCA where she took several classes. Marian traveled frequently to New York, Fon-du-Lac, Wisconsin and Oklahoma to see her growing family there. She has many nieces and nephews she enjoyed spending time with. Marian's twin sister, Sister Martha died several years ago after being a nun for 50 years.

After being a caregiver for her mother Marian became a care receiver, she was able to stay in her apartment in Evanston with the help of caregivers for a few years. As her needs changed, it became necessary to have full time care and she lived at the Holy Family Resurrection Nursing home in Des Plaines for two years. When the news came they were closing Marian moved to Nazarethville in Des Plaines on August 8, 2011 where she lived until her death on March 19, 2018.
