Marian Roecker April 2, 1928-September 29, 2025

Marian (Mom) is now at rest, joining her son Richard (1955-1965) and husband of 64 years, Edwin (1922-2010). She celebrated her 97th birthday with family.

Marian M. Schlieckau was born the daughter of August and Martha (Wauwrok) Schlieckau and raised with unfailing faith in God and a strong work ethic. As a lifelong member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Loganville, she served others with her special pies, cakes, bars, and cookies. She especially loved donating quilts to Lutheran World Relief. Her creative passions included tatting, quilling, crocheting, and painting.

Married to Edwin on June 1, 1946, they farmed on the Roecker family farm on Spring Valley Road near Loganville. After leaving the farm in 1966, she worked for Hankscraft until 1996 receiving awards for perfect on-time attendance. She later worked part time for Viking Village Foods and Lands’ End. She enjoyed travel, card playing, sudoku, and dancing. She valued education and encouraged all to strive for excellence in service and to work with perseverance toward their goals.

She is survived by daughters Beverly (Dale, 1999) Hoege and Sandra (David) Riley. Her grandchildren are Timothy (Jennifer) Hoege, Sr., Sara (Joe) Toufar, Kasandra (Michael Colgan) Riley, and Derek (Kelly) Riley. Her great grandchildren are Natalie Hoege, Alex Toufar, Timothy Hoege, Jr., Ava Toufar, Anika Toufar, Deklin Riley, Anna Colgan, Donovan Riley, and Dean Riley. She is further survived by brother Henry (Jan) Schlieckau, sister-in-law Alva Schlieckau, nieces, nephews, and friends.

She was predeceased by her husband, Edwin, her son, Richard (age 9), son-in-law Dale Hoege, parents and siblings: Frieda (Victor) Craker, Dorothy (Raymond) Albers, Adeline (Joseph) Stimac, Walter Schlieckau, Louise (Dwayne) White, Harold (Beverly) Schlieckau, Beverly (Richard) Schultz, and August Schlieckau, Jr. and in-laws Albert Roecker, Elsa (Walter) Blank, Martin (Ella) Roecker, Anna (Ervin) Reimer, Emma (Arthur) Hasz, William Roecker, Edna Reimer Alwin, Adeline (Orville) Schulte, nieces, and nephews.
