Rich was born on April 29, 1944, in St. Cloud, MN to Andrew and Rose (Schiffler) Mareck. He married Judith Wohletz on September 11, 1965, at Seven Dolors Catholic Church. They lived in Albany almost their entire life. He worked proudly for Kraft Foods in Melrose for 47 years. When Rich and Judy had the opportunity, they loved to travel including bucket list trips to Hawaii and Alaska and of course the occasional trip to Florida and a Disney Cruise. He enjoyed reading and was intrigued by family genealogy and loved to talk about it. Early on he spent many hours volunteering at Seven Dolors Church and Holy Family School events and activities as well as many other city events. Rich and Judy also loved to attend their grandchildren’s many school sporting events and other various activities. He also loved to watch the Twins and Vikings games and when things were not going the home team’s way he loved to hop in the car and drive the countryside.
