Marcie Ertelt was born on March 11, 1926, to Joseph G. and Gertrude (Kohler) Ertelt in Cuba Township, rural Barnes County. She attended grade school at the Cuba Township School and high school in Valley City. She graduated in 1944. During her high school years, she worked for room and board in Valley City and did waitress work.
She married Paul J. (Bob) Hannig on October 25, 1944, and they moved to the Hannig farm which was homesteaded by Bob’s grandfather, Joseph Hannig. Bob and Marcie raised 9 children and, with much hard work, they created a comfortable life for their family. The biggest heartache of their married life was when their son, Paul III, was injured in a car/train accident and died after being comatose for 2 years. Marcie had no time for hobbies or personal entertainment during these years. Her only break was the monthly meeting of her homemakers club or birthday club. Bob passed away 6 months shy of their 50th wedding anniversary.
Marcie moved to The Legacy Place soon after it opened and the Legacy residents and staff became part of her family. She lived there for 5 years and was a regular pinochle player in Valley City, Oriska, and Tower City until Alzheimer’s disease robbed her of that pleasure. Alzheimer’s took her away from us little by little. In July of this year, she moved to Evergreen’s Memory Care in Fargo where she again received wonderful care and compassion. Marcie loved and trusted the Lord, Jesus Christ, as her Savior and Lord. She especially prayed for Jesus’ help the last days of her life.
Marcie is survived by her children: Karen (Dave) Olstad, Valley City; Dave (Andrea Hasse) of Kerkhoven, MN; Dan (Marlys Jensen) of Oriska; Kathy (Dennis) Laumb, Valley City; Sue (Kent) Baumgartner, Valley City; Cindy (Brad) Beyer, Grand Forks, MN; Kris (Doyle) Thomas, Louisville, CO; and Jodie of Brooklyn Center, MN; 26 grandchildren; 39 great-grandchildren; 2 (almost 3) great-great-grandchildren. She also leaves her sister, Lucille Hannig; brother-in-law, Gordon Hannig; and sister-in-law Grace Fisher.
Waiting for her in Heaven were her husband, Paul (Bob); her son Paul; grand-daughter, Amber Beyer; and grandson Scott Baumgartner; brothers: Donald, Norbert, Lester, and Gary; and sister Helen Bertsch; her parents and many dear relatives and friends.
