105 Years Loved
An abundance of birthday wishes, activities, and treats have blessed Marie Dauer during her week long, 105th celebration. One of her gatherings included Divine Providence Grandfriends, Judy Farrell, Caroline Welsch, and Marie Dauer, & Lorraine Hofmeister. While the women jokingly planned for next year’s festivities, Marie said in response, “105 is as far as I’m going!” The women asked if she would share any words of wisdom and she replied, “I just worked hard. Sometimes it is tough, but you have to keep going. You have to pray through it.”
Born on April 17 1917, Marie has lived through so much, including two world wars. This faith-filled New Ulm native was one of 10 children raised by Herbet and Mathilda (Seifert) Theissen at 802 N. Franklin in New Ulm. United in marriage to Paul Dauer October 16, 1939 at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the couple raised Margaret (Joseph Moran of Centennial, Colorado), John (Yolanda Perez of San Antonio, Texas), Tom (Kathy Dauer of Spokane, Washington), James, (Dr. Susan Tiegs of Albany, Oregon), and Peter (Patty Dauer of Entiat, Washington).
