Marie Louise Gluck

Marie Louise (Ludeking) Gluck, 97, of Waukon passed away peacefully among her family and her son, Gilbert Gluck, Thursday, September 23, 2010 at Good Samaritan Center in Waukon. Funeral services were held Monday, September 27 at First Presbyterian Church in Waukon. Burial was at Oakland Cemetery, Waukon.
Marie was born at home on a small farm near Waukon along with her twin sister, Marguerite, June 21, 1913. She was baptized at Zalmona Presbyterian Church November 16, 1913 and had full communion March 28, 1926. Marie worked on the farm as a child, while attending country schools. She graduated from school in 1928, and then married Edward ‘Eddie’ Gluck December 21, 1935 in Waterloo.
Marie was a homemaker, and after her husband passed away in 1960, she dedicated the rest of her life to caring for her daughter Vicki, diagnosed with Down syndrome. She also was the caretaker of her mother, Mattie, who lived with her for many years. Marie enjoyed fishing with her husband, tending to her garden, and baking and canning various items from the garden. She especially enjoyed sitting on the porch, socializing with family, friends and neighbors, watching the passing cars.
She was an active member of her church, First Presbyterian Church, until she entered Good Samaritan Center May 19, 2006. While at Good Samaritan, Marie enjoyed many friends, and still had a sharp mind, and great spirit. She received daily visits from her daughter, son and family, and her granddaughter enjoyed hearing all the old stories from days long ago.
Survivors include her son, Gilbert ‘Bertie’ Gluck of Waukon; her daughter, Vicki Marie Gluck of Waukon; her granddaughter, Candy (Gluck) Mannette of Waukon; her grandson, Kim Bernatz of Waukon; 10 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren; and many cousins.
