Mark M. Longseth

Mark Marshall Longseth, 57, of rural Independence, passed away at his home, Sunday evening, January 31, 2021.

Mark was born September 11, 1963, in Mondovi, the son of Marshall Duane and Jane Marie (Mattausch) Longseth. Mark graduated from Gilmanton High School in 1981.

Mark dedicated his life to working on the family farm, raising beef cattle and miniature horses. His pride and joy — Daisy Mae, Dancer, Pal and Buddy, deeply miss their friend. Mark enjoyed going to a good auction and always finding someone to talk to.

He was a dedicated worker at Ashley Furniture of Arcadia, where he continued to work until he was forced to leave his position due to colon cancer.

Mark is sadly missed by his five siblings: Vicki (Patrick) Langreck of Marshfield, Kevin (Cindy Sue) Longseth of Blair, Cindy (Gaylord) Peterson of Blair, Kristi (Theodore) Casey of New Richmond, and Lori (Timothy) Nyberg of River Falls; and nieces and nephews: Janae Langreck, Treani (AJ) Fedie, Marcia Longseth, Mara Peterson, Julianna Casey, Margaret Casey, Dakota Nyberg and Owen Nyberg. His kind heart and gentle spirit and his wonderful stories will forever be missed.

Preceding him in death were his father, Marshall Longseth (January 30, 2004) and, on April 20, 2021, his mother, Jane Longseth, joined them both in heaven.

Joint funeral services with his mother, Jane, will be held Monday, May 3, 2021, at 1:00 p.m., at Good Shepherd, rural Mondovi.
