Obituary

Marvin Hilbert Heinrichs was born on June 15, 1927, in Carroll, IA. He was the son of Herman and Eleanora (Koenig) Heinrichs. Marvin was baptized and confirmed at St. Augustine Church in Halbur, IA. He graduated with the Arcadia high school class of 1945. Marvin entered the United States Navy toward the close of World War II and was stationed in California aboard the USS Agawa in 1945 and 1946.

Marvin loved sports and excelled in baseball as a catcher. He frequently commented that “baseball has been good to me,” especially since he met his future bride, Maxine, at a baseball game. Marvin was a semi-professional baseball player for the Wilmont Eagles and Pipestone Indians in MN and Carroll Merchants in Carroll, IA. He later continued as an amateur baseball player and manager for the Fulda (MN) Giants. For many years he enjoyed refereeing high school and college basketball games.

On June 22, 1948, Marvin was united in marriage to Maxine Ida Koster at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Breda, IA. Marvin and Maxine shared 3 days shy of 74 years of married life together. They were blessed with 7 children --- Gayle, Carol, Duane, Linda, Ellen, Keith, and Deann.

After his baseball season in 1957, Marvin and Maxine purchased a floor covering business in Fulda, MN. From here they started Heinrichs Floor and Wall Covering, which they operated successfully for 36 years until they sold it in 1992. Marvin was elected and served as a Fulda councilman for 9 years and then as mayor for 6 years. He served on numerous committees at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church and was a life member of the American Legion in Fulda. He was a Knights of Columbus member at St. Leo’s Catholic Church in Pipestone, MN, and a charter member of the American Legion in Arcadia, IA. Marvin had a strong sense of civic responsibility and served in many public organizations. Marvin and Maxine moved to Glencoe, MN, in October 2015, where they became members of the Church of St. Pius X in Glencoe.

After retirement, Marvin and Maxine enjoyed coffee and outings with their Fulda friends and their annual trips to visit each of their children who lived in 7 different states.  Marvin enjoyed woodworking, painting, and golfing, and he was an avid fan of watching his children and grandchildren participate in sporting and academic activities. Marvin loved life and his glass was always ¾’s full. He will be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humor.  

Marvin is survived by:
Wife, Maxine Heinrichs;
Children, Gayle (Harry) Cramer of Pensacola, FL,
                 Carol (Robert) Peterson of Fort Myers, FL,

    So sorry to hear of Marvin’s passing. I worked in Dietary at Grand Meadows from Dec 2019-Feb 2020. I enjoyed many visit with Marvin and Maxine on my breaks. Always interesting conversations. Mostly about gardening and cooking. Very sweet couple. I also know Deann. May the good Lord help his family through this difficult time.

    I loved stopping for coffee when passing through Fulda. Loved the welcome I always received from them. Marv sometimes called me #6. I liked to think if he had an extra daughter, he would have considered me. Wonderful man. Your loss will be felt.

    Linda I am saddened by your father’s passing for you and your entire family. You have shared so many stories of his humor and love for his family. I hope those same stories and memories bring comfort and peace.

    We are so sorry to hear about Marv. Marv always had a smile on his face and could always make you laugh with his quick wit. I can remember going to Heinrich’s Floor and Wall Covering growing up and having great conversations with both Marv and Maxine. What fond memories. May God’s grace bring you all comfort in the days ahead. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
