Age 88, of Greenwood, MN, formerly of Edina, MN, passed peacefully March 29, 2023 surrounded by loving family and her husband of 69 years, Alvin E. McQuinn. She was a true Matriarch, in the best sense of the word, and left her family, friends, and community at large, so much the better for her having been with us. Mary Agnes was born September 3, 1934 in Frankfort, Indiana, the oldest child to Mary Agnes and Robert C. Starr. As a Night Editor at the local newspaper, Mary’s father, brought the world of journalism home to his family. There, a young Mary grew up quickly during WWII, taking her loving parents’ advice to heart and living life with a strong sense of responsibility and interest in the world. As an accomplished student, she and her bright and active younger brother, Frank, (who later took the family avocation of journalism to a serious vocation) pursued their interests in a promising new world led by science and mechanization.
