Marlene Schroeder

Marlene Schroeder, 81,

moved to her heavenly

home on Feb, 12, 2022,

from Edgewood Vista,

Minot, N.D.

Marlene was born on

June 9, 1940, in Bottineau,

N.D., to Erwin and

Eleanor Wagner. She at-

tended country school

through sixth grade and

graduated from Bottineau

She met Dennis

Schroeder in August

1957. They married Oc-

tober 2, 1959. From this

union four children were

born: Steven, Michael,

Joni and Duane.

Other than being a great

mother, she also excelled

in other areas, including

waitressing, running the

ranch when Dennis was

working away, helping

run Max Texaco Service,

working as a bank teller,

and co-owner of Max Gro-

cery Store.

From a young girl, Mar-

lene always loved horses

and was involved with

them all her life.

Marlene’s greatest pride

was her children,

grandchildren, and

great-grandchildren.

She moved to Max in

1959 and bought the Tor-

no farm on the west side

of Max in 1969.

She was preceded in

death by her father and

her mother, her sister Ar-

dys Berg, son-in-law, Ken-

neth Berg, granddaughter,

Brook Schroeder,

son-in-law, Sheldon

Haner, and special friend,

Shirley Jungling.

She is survived by her

loving family, including

her husband of 62 years,

Dennis; her four children,

10 grandchildren, and 11

great-grandchildren.

A memorial service

will be held later this

spring.
