Marian E. Krogmann, 85, of Masonville, IA, died on Monday, August 7, 2023, at the Cedar Valley Hospice Home in Waterloo, IA.

Marian was born on September 28, 1937, in Dyersville, IA, the daughter of John L. and Marcella (Conrad) Recker. She was raised on the family farm in rural Dyersville and attended the Country Schools. Marian went on to graduate from Dyersville Xavier High School in 1954. She enjoyed Babysitting and worked for several years in Dyersville.

She often went dancing with friends and met the love of her life, James N. Krogmann, at a dance in Petersburg, IA. They were married on May 11, 1957, in Dyersville. A few years later, they moved to Monti, IA, started farming together, and purchased a farm in rural Winthrop, IA in 1964. Together, they farmed for many years, semi-retired in 2000, and moved to an acreage in Masonville, IA.

Marian loved children and had fourteen of her own. Her children were her life and she loved every moment with them. She enjoyed caring for them and teaching them life lessons and the skills she thought they needed to be successful in life. From gardening, canning, and sewing she loved to practice and perfect her skills every year. In her later years, she enjoyed traveling.
