E. Marie Druckemiller

E. Marie Druckemiller stepped into the presence of her precious Savior Jesus on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at the Crestview Senior Community in Blaine, Minnesota.

She was born December 2, 1932, in Van Wert to James A.Winters and Goldie (Waldron) Winters. Marie graduated from Van Wert High School in 1950.

Marie met and fell in love with Oris Junior Druckemiller and they were married November 7, 1951. They have 4 children, James (Rosanne) Druckemiller, Michelle (Mark) Finnestad, John (Angie) Druckemiller and Joseph (Alison) Druckemiller, 12 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Those who knew her will remember Marie as mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, teacher or by one of the many other diverse hats she wore. She seemed to do it all. She was always giving to others but seldom accepted for herself. She had a big heart and a sincere love for God. She grew many smiles on the faces of children and will be truly missed. She went to heaven on Oris’ birthday, and now eternally together again they walk heaven’s streets preparing for the rest of us to meet again. She was preceded in death by her husband, four brothers, and a sister.

Funeral services will take place at the First Baptist Church in Van Wert, Saturday, February 12, with visitation from 9-11 a.m. followed immediately by the funeral service, meal, and graveside at Van Wert Woodland Cemetery.
