Obituary of Marie Kroeker

Marie Kroeker The family of Marie Kroeker are deeply saddened to announce her sudden passing on October 19, 2016 after a short illness at Battleford’s Union Hospital. Marie was predeceased by her husband, Peter in 2006. Marie is survived by her children; Dale (Nicole) Kroeker and grandchildren Danial, Jared, Jason, Adrian and Chelsea; Kelly (Ramona) Kroeker and grandchildren Brady and Landon; Brad (Debbie) and Kelli, Kim and Lindsay and Debbie Kroeker. Marie also leaves behind her brother David (Debbie) Armstrong family and sister in law Phyllis Armstrong. Marie was born on September 14, 1940 in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan to Bryan and Jennie Armstrong. She was the 3rd of 4 siblings. She was predeceased by Carol (Pete) Angelstead, Alan (Phyllis) Armstrong and Dave (Debbie) Armstrong who are currently living in Saskatoon. Marie met and married her husband Peter Kroeker in August of 1957 at Medstead Saskatchewan where they farmed. They had 4 children and were very busy with school sports, hockey, curling and 4-H. Marie started working part time at the Village/R.M. office as an R.M. assistant in 1975. At this time Peter took up golfing and in order to spend time together so did Marie. Soon it became a passion of both of theirs. This took them to many tournaments, golf trips and generally fun times. Marie will be remembered by her amazing bread and bun. The grandchildren especially love a big Sunday breakfast with “homemade toast”. Also to be remembered was her amazing potato salad as well as all the Christmas treats and great pickles and canning. Marie had a sympathetic ear for anyone who called and visited and a very “matter of fact” way of dealing with life. Marie will be missed greatly by all of her family and friends. The funeral service in honor of Marie was held on October 24th, 2016 from the Medstead Community Hall with Delores Beaulac officiating. Patty Heisler was the soloist. The eulogy was given by Donnalea Kroeker. Pallbearers were: Kirby Kroeker, Don Ferguson, Al Vancaeseele, Mervin Seidle, Abe Schmirler, Darin Beaudoin.
