Margarete Senger, 78, Linton, ND, passed away June 6, 2014 peacefully in her home, surrounded by family after a four month battle with cancer. Services will be held AT 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Linton, ND with Rev. David Richter officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at Myers Funeral Home, where a prayer service will be held at 7:00 p.m. Visitation will continue for one hour before service time on Wednesday at the church. Margarete was born July 12, 1935, in Selesia, Germany, to John and Maria (Fesser) Morcinek. There she lived until she was nine years old. Her biggest memory of the war is of the time her mother, four siblings, and grandmother, plus a neighbor lady and her mother, left by wagon and oxen to evade the Russian Army. They headed west for two days, but the two grandma's refused to go on, and they turned back, only to be met by German soldiers who moved the family out by train, to Bavaria, West Germany. After meeting the love of her life, Margarete married Raymond Senger, on May 26, 1955, at the Air Force Chapel in Germany. Together they established their home, farming east of Linton, where they raised five children. They moved into town in 1990. Margarete belonged to Catholic Daughters of America, the Legion Auxiliary, Senior Citizens, Homemakers, and bridge clubs. She was also song leader in the church choir. She was a great hostess, who enjoyed having her family over and fixing large holiday meals. Margarete also loved to knit and crochet. She took pride in making blankets for her grandchildren and other family members. Margarete is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Raymond Senger, Linton, four children, Alan (Dawn) Senger, Linton, Randal Senger, Linton, Bryan (Lorraine) Senger, Bismarck, ND, and Sonja Graber, Wishek, ND, six grandchildren, Rob (Angela) Senger, Aberdeen, SD, Kayla (Dave) Crawford, Wahpeton, ND, Ashlee (Zach) Fettig, Bismarck, Kyle (Alicia) Graber, Fredonia, ND, Luke (Josie) Senger, Bismarck, Lisa (Brandon) Slaughter, Bismarck, 8 great grandchildren, three sisters, Elenore (Karl-Heintz) Schulz, Chicago, IL, Rosemarie (Karl) Bornschlegel, Chicago, and Brigitte (Bodo) Dietrich, Milwaukee, WI, one brother, Siegfried (Siglinde) Morcinek, Germany. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Maria Morcinek, one son, Warren, and two grandchildren, Jay Senger and Terra (Senger) Mattheis.
