Born August 22, 1920, in Waterbury, Connecticut, Marie passed into eternal life on April 23, 2015 in Kingston, Massachusetts at the Wingate Skilled Care Nursing Facility. She was surrounded by the compe- tent, caring staff and com- passionate residents of the Elmwood Unit. Holding her daughter’s hand (MaryEllen), she sur- rendered into the loving embrace of Christ, Our Lady, and the arms of her beloved husband, Bill. Her passing was a gift to him on the occa- sion of his birthday. Marie’s journey of 94 years was rooted in faith and dedicated to her family: Husband of 50 years, William (Bill) John Stroker; five chil- dren; 14 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. She is the mother of Anne Seile of Sisters. Wherever she called home, from Connecticut to North Carolina to Oregon and finally Massachusetts, Marie participated in com- munity and ministered to those in her parish family as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. Bringing the Eucharist to the sick, singing in the choir and par- ticipating in the Altar Society were her joy and delight. Bill and Marie enjoyed travel- ing, spending time with their family and hiking together in their retirement years. Marie leaves a legacy of a beautiful smile, natural curly hair (inherited from her Lithuanian mother), an exemplary prayerful life, a voice for the unborn, a life of simplicity and generosity and an unwavering trust in Jesus. Well done, good and faithful servant! Enjoy your reward with the Angels, Saints, and the God of uncon- ditional, passionate love.
