Marie A. Hebeisen

Obituary

Marie Adeline (Stoeckmann) Hebeisen was born on July 19, 1919, at home in rural Hamburg, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Ernst and Marie (Proehl) Stoeckmann. Marie was baptized as an infant and later confirmed in her faith as a youth at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg, Minnesota. She received her early education at the Hamburg Parochial School in Hamburg through the 8^th grade. She graduated from Glencoe, Minnesota, with the Glencoe High School class of 1938.

On April 20, 1940, Marie was united in marriage to Milton Frederick Hebeisen by Rev. H.J. Bouman at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg, Minnesota. The couple made their home in Hamburg for 18 years, Norwood Young America for 45 years, and in 2003, they became residents of Orchard Estates in Glencoe. The couple was blessed with two children: Bruce and Gail. Marie and Milton shared over 66 years together when Milton passed away on December 4, 2006.

Marie was a loving wife, mother, and homemaker. Marie also worked various part-time jobs over the years. Marie was an active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Norwood Young America, Minnesota. She served with the altar guild and the Missionary League.

Marie loved to travel with her husband, Milton, other relatives, and friends. They traveled to Germany, Alaska, Texas, and the East Coast, to name a few. She enjoyed playing bingo and card games like Sheepshead. She was a part of a card group that played 500 for over 30 years, and they called themselves “The Sewing Club.” Marie also enjoyed dancing, and any time there was a baby to snuggle or children to play games with, she was all in. Spending time with family and friends, and caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, was time she truly cherished most.

Marie passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at The Estates at Delano in Delano, Minnesota, at the age of 105 years, 8 months, and 28 days. Blessed be her memory.
