Kimberly Dawn (Schrage) Marzen, the daughter of Linus and Sandra (Nelson) Schrage, was born February 6, 1961, in Charles City, Iowa, baptized March 5, 1961, at St. James Lutheran Church in Allison and confirmed May 11, 1975, at Messiah Lutheran Church in Charles City.

She attended school at Allison-Bristow until 6th grade and graduated from Charles City High School in 1979. During high school she worked at Kruse Pharmacy and continued there for a short time after her graduation then began working at the Floyd County Treasurer's Office.

Kim was united in marriage to Dean Marzen on December 9, 1983, at Messiah Lutheran Church. The couple made their home in Charles City and were blessed with their son, Jesse. She worked in the Charles City schools as a lunch lady for a few years and then attended school at NIACC and UNI, graduating with her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics. Kim taught at Immaculate Conception School in Charles City and substitute taught in surrounding communities for a number of years. She also tutored students, did real estate appraisals and was owner of Marzen's Towing and Automotive for 35 years.

Kim was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church, Elks Lodge, a former Library Board member and a former member of Friends of the Library. She enjoyed motorcycle rides on the Harley with her husband and dear friends Teri and Gary Pettit, spending time with her friends (always being a great listener) and watching the wildlife outside the windows. Kim was also an avid reader and thought education and learning were very important (knowledge is power).

A large part of Kim's life was dedicated to her grandchildren. She spent time educating them, talking with them and just being with them whenever she was able. They were her life's pride and joy.
