Marguerite Mary Stoller, 82 of Paulding, passed away on January 14 at Van Wert Area Inpatient Hospice Center, after a period of declining health. She was born May 4, 1933 in Adams County, Indiana, to the late Fred and Katie (Kipfer) Gerber and married Delmar Stoller on November 5, 1950. They were happily married for 63 years before his death on December 21, 2013.
Marguerite answered the call of the Lord and was baptized at the age of 14 as a member of the Latty Apostolic Christian Church. She was a devoted mother who loved and appreciated her family. Marguerite enjoyed visiting with people, and with Delmar opened their home often to family and friends. They also enjoyed traveling and wintered in Sarasota, Florida for 24 years.
While her children were in high school, Marguerite attended college extension courses, graduating from Bowling Green University in 1973 with a degree in Elementary Education. She taught second grade at Grover Hill and Payne Elementary Schools for 12 years. Nothing gave her greater joy than the Word of God, and singing about the love of her Father in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Surviving are her four children: Ray (Carol) of Paulding, Rodney (LeAnn) of Van Wert, Mardel (Robert) Dotterer of Rittman, and Carol (William) Eisenmann of Woodburn, IN. Also surviving are three sisters: Luella Schladenhauffen, Shirley Feichter and Nancy Honegger and three brothers, Roger, Charles and Dale Gerber. Marguerite was blessed with 15 grandchildren and 50 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and infant great-grandsons, Sage and Sawyer Pelfrey.
