Marjean Potter Ehlers
Rev. Dr. Marjean Potter Ehlers graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with
a bachelor's degree in both psychology and sociology in 1972. Following her graduation
from Northwest, she married her husband, Don and together, beginning in 1980, they
would serve as Co-Directors of the Wesley Foundation at Northwest Missouri State
University for 35 years, retiring in 2015. Marjean and Don’s four children, Justis, Jesmin,
Jacob, and Julia, were constants at Wesley Foundation and at Northwest Missouri State
University, as it was truly a home away from home for their family. Marjean loved being
a campus minister and her connection with Northwest students. Even more, she loved
being a mother, and later a grandmother, spending time reading, sewing, drawing and
crafting with her grandchildren. On December 18th, 2023, she passed from this world
surrounded by her family and immersed in their unending love.
