Margaret A. Glodowski

May 2, 1928 - January 27, 2014

Margaret (Marge) Ann Glodowski came to her eternal rest Monday, January 27th, 2014 at the Scribner Good Samaritan Care Center in Scribner, NE. Marge had resided in the Alzheimers wing for the past two and a half years. Marge was born on the family farm one mile South of Howells, NE on May 2nd, 1928. She was the first of seven children born to Conrad and Anna (Ridder) Elbracht. Marge attended and was a member of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church and School. She was baptized, confirmed and made her first Holy Communion there. She graduated from Howells High School in 1946. She taught school for several years in three rural Colfax county K-8 one room schools through the normal training program.

On April 14, 1953 she was joined in marriage to Ralph F. Glodowski, from North Bend, NE. at St. Peter and Paul in Howells. They celebrated together 56 years of marriage. Together Marge and Ralph lived on the family dairy farm, centrally located between Scribner and North Bend, NE. Marge and Ralph were members of the St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Scribner. Margaret was a life long member of St. Catherine's guild. She served as a CCD religion teacher for over 30 years. She was a Dodge Co. Darts and Lucky Lassie's 4-H club leader for 41 years. She was also a member of the Maple Creek County Extension club.

To the union of Marge and Ralph six children were born. Kathy, Marian, Joyce, Jim, Jan, and Jerry. Marge was an avid gardener and loved to can and bake. She took great pride in winning several awards for her canning and baking at the Dodge Co. Fair. Marge enjoyed attending the State Fair, watching and listening to Husker games, the World Series, and televised high school state tournaments. Her joy in life came from the short trips she took with Ralph, her children' grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was a morning person and truly loved her country life. She was a great cook and always had a hot meal ready for anyone. She looked forward to family and friend reunions, picnics, and hot dog roasts. Her children, grand children, and great grand children will always treasure the stories she told. Her kind, gentle, fun personality will be missed by many.
