Marie Catherine Deutsch was born January 25, 1930, on the Freidhof family farm near Elma, Iowa, the daughter of Joseph and Marie (Lensing) Freidhof. She received her elementary education in Lourdes and was a 1948 graduate of the Elma High School. Marie enjoyed working at the local drug store in Elma as a young girl.
On June 1, 1950, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Lourdes, she married Francis Bernard Deutsch. To this union five children were born, Joseph, Thomas, William, Nancy and Neil.
From the time Marie and Francis were married, they farmed side-by-side. She enjoyed and took great pride in her work on the farm, along with being a mother and grandmother. Besides farming she also was an accomplished seamstress, making quilts, tying comforters, crocheting, plastic canvas stitching and more. She was a very crafty lady and also loved going to garage sales with Francis, always looking for salt and pepper shakers to add to her collection. In her earlier years she also baked and decorated cakes.
Survivors include one daughter, Nancy Franzen of New Hampton; four sons, Joe (Linda Tippie) Deutsch of North English, Iowa, Tom (Rosie) Deutsch of New Hampton, Bill (Martha Davis) Deutsch of Decorah and Neil (Pam) Deutsch of Urbandale; twelve grandchildren, Curtis (Amy Hughes) Deutsch, Charis Deutsch, Ben Deutsch, Brooke (Eric) Nott, Amy Robbins, Theresa Deutsch, Sarah Deutsch, Annie Deutsch, Emma Deutsch, Chelsea Deutsch, Riley Deutsch and Kyle Deutsch; three great-grandchildren, Zia and Silas Hughes Deutsch, Sawyer Nott; one brother, Ray (Alice) Freidhof of Waterloo; four sisters-in-law, Evelyn Deutsch of New Hampton, Evelyn Alessi of New Jersey, Phyllis Dietrich and Gert Freidhof, both of Elma; many nieces and nephews.
