Margaret Gerszewski

Our mother, Margaret M. Gerszewski, physically departed our world on August 4, 2016. Although she no longer walks among us, she will be forever in our hearts and the hearts of many.

Born December 14, 1924 at home in rural Warren, MN, the daughter of Paul and Cecelia (Hapka) Staloch. She graduated from Argyle High School and attended Aakers Business College in Grand Forks, ND. She worked at Employers Overload in Minneapolis, MN for several years.

She married her husband William Valentine Gerszewski on November 18, 1946. They sold their farm West of Argyle to purchase her parents farm (Paul and Cecelia Staloch) East of Argyle. Together, throughout hardship and love, they shared a wonderful life together with family and friends, while farming , traveling and dancing. Besides changing the landscape of the original farm place, our parents built a spacious new home in the seventies and a pole barn after the dairy barn was demolished in a fire. Margaret helped out with the farming, farm business and babysitting grandchildren and neighbor children.

We the children, Karin Ann (Mrs. Joe Griffin) born October 8, 1947; Gary Paul born November 4, 1957; Mark Alexander (Peggy) born November 16, 1959 shall forever remember you as will your grandchildren, Tamara Fleischhaker, Angela Gerszewski, Alicia (Jake) Henly, Aaron (Heather) Gerszewski, and Alexander Gerszewski.
