Marie Buchholz

Marie T. Buchholz, 93, of Thornton died Monday, Jan. 30, at the Hospice of

She was born Jan. 22, 1913, in St. Mary's, Kan., to George and Elizabeth
(Seidle) Sigg.

On Oct. 25, 1932, she married Carl Buchholz in South Roggen.

Mrs. Buchholz attended schools in South Roggen and at St. Claire's. She

A member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Roggen, Mrs. Buchholz was a
founding member of the Altar and Rosary Society. She helped to establish the
Sacred Heart Elementary School in 1943.

She loved to garden and sew, especially quilts. She thoroughly loved to take
care of all of her grandkids. In fact, her life was based around teaching
her kids and making their lives better. She was very generous and giving of
her life and time.

Survivors are three daughters and their husbands, Teresa and Vern Beilman of
Wichita, Kan., Rosemary and Mike Bronder of Thornton, and Mary and Bob
Carswell of Broomfield; two sisters, Susan Linnebur of Byers and Sister
