Marlis Jean (Heiser) Kulus went to be with her Lord on September 1, 2015, after a long battle with cancer. Marlis was born on December 31, 1941 in Minneapolis, MN to parents George and Veva Heiser. Marlis married William “Bill” Kulus on September 21, 1985 and together they enjoyed their extended family of 10 children and 36 grandchildren. Marlis’ passion in life was her beloved family and the 25 years she was dedicated to ministry. Marlis was the founder of M.O.R. (Ministry of Reconciliation) in Prior Lake, MN.
A Celebration of Life Service will be on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, at 7 pm, with visitation starting at 4 pm, at Friendship Church, 17741 Fairlawn Avenue, Prior Lake. Pastors Doyle Van Gelder and Mike Golay will preside, and Marlis’ grandchildren will act as her urn bearers. Memorials are preferred to Marlis’ family and will be distributed to M.O.R. in her memory.
Left to honor and continue Marlis’ legacy is her loving husband Bill; daughters, Cheryl Fihn and Sheila Lemmens; grandchildren, Tiela, Annika, Kaia, Eli, Tirzah, Zachary, Tyler and Micah; 1 great-granddaughter; Bill’s 8 children and 28 grandchildren; other loving relatives and devoted friends.
