Mom wasn’t felling well so dad and her went to the doctor Friday afternoon to get things checked out. Not finding much they decided to transfer her to Sioux Falls. Saturday morning she passed away from septic shock.
Magdalene Marie Wollum (Maggie) was born April 29, 1934 to Joseph and Barbara (Achartz) Kronabetter in the little back bedroom on the Kronabetter farm. Maggie was baptized, confirmed, and finished school through the eighth grade at the St Leo Catholic Church in St Leo, MN. When Maggie was a little girl she enjoyed helping her mother with cooking and cleaning in the house. In the evening, after school, she had to help her father do chores.
In 1955, Maggie married Ronald Roles and to that union five boys were born: Roger, Mark, Timothy, Daniel, and Steven. They lived right outside of St Leo farming and raising their family. Ron passed away in 1961.
In 1965, Maggie married Harvey Wollum at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in New Ulm, MN. The new Wollum family of seven became a family of ten when Beverly, Karen, and Krist were born. Harvey and Maggie raised their children on the Wollum family farm and eventually retired to their lake home on Lake Cochran.
For fifty-two years, Maggie watched her family grow and met many new friends with Harvey by her side. She took pride in being a mom, wife, and eventually a grandmother and great grandmother. She will be remembered for her love of Wheel of Fortune, card playing, bird watching, and “choir practice.” Maggie enjoyed so many beautiful years full of happy memories surrounded by family and friends near and far.
Goodbye mom, we miss you.
