Our mother, Margaret M. Gerszewski, physically departed our world on August 4, 2016. Although she no longer walks among us, she will be forever in our hearts and the hearts of many.
Born December 14, 1924 at home in rural Warren, MN, the daughter of Paul and Cecelia (Hapka) Staloch. She graduated from Argyle High School and attended Aakers Business College in Grand Forks, ND. She worked at Employers Overload in Minneapolis, MN for several years.
She married her husband William Valentine Gerszewski on November 18, 1946. They sold their farm West of Argyle to purchase her parents farm (Paul and Cecelia Staloch) East of Argyle. Together, throughout hardship and love, they shared a wonderful life together with family and friends, while farming , traveling and dancing.
