Marie Vollmer

Marie Vollmer, 84,

Norwich, ND, passed

away Saturday, June 19,

2021, in her home.

Marie Anna Korgel was

born April 26, 1937, the

daughter of Jesse and Ger-

trude (Frost) Korgel, in

Eureka Township, Ward

County, ND. She attended

Eureka Township School

and graduated from St.

Leo’s Catholic School.

On May 18, 1956, Marie

married Duane F. Vollmer

in Minot, ND. Before their

children were born, she

worked as a medical tran-

scriptionist. They spent

their lives farming, ranch-

ing and raising their six

children on the Vollmer

homestead. Anybody who

knew Marie will

remember the many hours

she spent operating all

types of farm equipment.

She spent many hours

driving the combine, bal-

ing hay, hauling small

square bales, swathing

grain and driving tractor.

In the 90’s, she went back

to doing medical tran-

scription for about 10

years.

Marie and Duane en-

joyed heading to one of

the local casinos to try

their luck. We only heard

about the wins and not

the losses. Maybe that was

for the best.

Marie took great pride

in her children, their

spouses and their fami-

lies, commenting on their

great work ethic and char-

acter. Marie was very

proud of her large family.

She was a member of

the Norwich Ladies Birth-

day Club. She enjoyed

crocheting, knitting, puz-

zles, word searches, adult

colored pencil art and

canning – especially her

famous, “Molly Sauce.”

cludes: children, Cindy
