WINONA, Minn. – Marian Hopkins, of Winona, who once taught Latin at Cotter High School and later managed the adult learning program at Winona State University, died at age 93. She held an advanced degree in classical studies from the University of Michigan and did doctoral work in adult education, women’s studies, and international education at the University of Minnesota. Although an excellent cook, her children remember her saying she didn’t want to be remembered for her kitchen but for her ideas. She was a concurrent member in four separate book clubs. She was also a founding member of the Great River Collegium that studied the plays that would be performed in the Great River Shakespeare Festival. She supported aspiring actors in the festival’s apprenticeship Program.
