Marlys Ann Poegel (Rosenow), 89, passed away on November 19, 2022 at the Galeon Assisted Living in Osakis, MN. Marlys was born on June 15, 1933 to Walter and Rose (Lietz) Rosenow of Round Prairie Township. She grew up on the family farm with her four siblings where she loved to help her Dad with the “outdoor work” hence giving her a love for farming and a passion for animals.
Marlys married Bernard Henry Poegel on December 1, 1956, and they were blessed with six children, Thomas, Mark, Judy, Richard, and two infants. The couple raised their family on a dairy farm outside of Long Prairie. She became a widow at the age of 38 and continued to run the family farm and raise her four children with support of family and friends. She was a very strong, caring, and loving woman. Her stubborn personality, along with her faith would raise her children to have strong work ethics, caring hearts, and a value for faith. Marlys enjoyed working on the farm. She loved her animals-cows (milking them by hand for many years), horses (loved riding them), pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, geese, guineas, cats, and dogs. If any of them were injured, she would be the first to nurse them back to health no matter what it took.
After Marlys retired from farming, she enjoyed time with her sister, Della (Robert) Bohlken, children, Tom (Peggy) Poegel, Mark (Rachel) Poegel, Judy (Robert) Palbicki, Richard Poegel, grandchildren-Jennifer, Sam, Christina, Tracy, Bernard, Melissa, Cody, and Kyle and 14 great grandchildren. In 2012, Marlys moved from her farm to Valley View in Long Prairie where she continued making memories with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends.
Marlys is in heaven with her husband, Bernard: two infant children; siblings, Violet Rosenow, Darlene Wessman, and Orville Rosenow; daughter-in-law-Tina Poegel; great grandson, Edmund and many other family and friends.
A service in her honor took place on Friday, November 25, 2022 at the American Lutheran Church in Long Prairie. Burial immediately followed at the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery in rural Long Prairie. Arrangements were with the Iten Funeral Home of Browerville.
