Marga Schlack, 88, of Washington, IL, passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, January 23, 2019 at the Apostolic Christian Home of Eureka.
Marga was born in Torun, Poland on March 6, 1930 to Rudolf and Elsa (Albrecht) Steinhagen.
She married Oswald Schlack in Germany on March 5, 1955. Oswald preceded her in death on May 22, 2013. She was also preceded in death by her parents and multiple siblings.
In December 1956, with little money in their pockets but great hopes and dreams, Oswald and Marga immigrated to the United States under sponsorship by St.
Marga was a dedicated wife, mother, and homemaker. She was a talented cook and knitter and was an excellent student. She was chosen for a special boarding school in Poland before the outbreak of WWII. In the 1970s, Marga decided to pursue her interest in the medical field and obtained her LPN certificate. Doing so also required her to complete a GED since her education records from Germany were not recognized. She then spent 15 years working at what is now Washington Christian Village, always on the night shift.
Marga loved to sing.
