Together the couple worked on the farm with Glen’s dad. Marvel stayed home to raise her 9 children. Later she worked at the nursing home in Wabasso and at the Vesta locker. Most recently she worked at Tersteeg’s bakery for 20 plus years until she retired in 2013. Marvel enjoyed volunteering in the community for V-esta Days. She was a member of Christian Women and Home Extension groups. Marvel enjoyed going out to lunch and coffee at the Vesta Café with the ladies. She loved riding her bike, music, and sweets.

We are so sad to hear of her loss. I just ran into Marvel at Walmart back a few months ago and took a picture of us together . We always shared memories of when we were neighbors in Wabasso when we ran into each other. We will miss her deeply.

I loved to read the words about Marvel’s life. I didn’t know much about her. I am amazed to read she raised 9 children, and worked so hard. I can only imagine as I only have two children now, actually I mean to say, I can’t imagine. She looks so lovely and so much like my Grandma Doris, I am so happy she is with her in heaven and to hear that her faith was of highest priority, knowing she left in such peace.
Dear Glen and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in Marvel’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.
All our love,

Glen, you and your entire family have our sincere sympathy for your loss. Marvel will be fondly remembered.
I am sorry about your dear Grandmother, and I hope that these promises from the Bible will comfort you in this time of difficulty. Jehovah God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and he saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace be with you.
Sorry to hear of Marvel’s passing. She was such a gracious lady…always shared her friendly smile.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family.. I grew up with Marvel and graduated with her. I know how she will be missed by so many. I am unable to attend her service but will be there in prayer for the family.
My mother was instrumental in my coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For that I will ever be grateful. Never underestimate the power of a praying mother.
Ah Jeff – this warms my heart. We will see you at the service to offer our sympathy and share in your family’s sorrow.
