Marvin Krueger - LHS Class of 1950

Marvin Dwight Krueger, of Conover, North Carolina, entered his heavenly home on December 27, 2010. Marvin was born on April 19, 1932 to Adolph and Carrie (Wahler) Krueger in Leavenworth County, Kansas. He graduated from Leavenworth High School and Kansas State College and was a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean War. Marvin was employed by General Electric Co. for 31 years and served as a volunteer for Hospice and Meals on Wheels of Catawba County. He was a faithful and long-time member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Conover. 
Marvin was happiest playing golf, reading his newspapers, watching football, or enjoying a meal with his daughters and their families. His greatest treasures were photos and memories of family times, especially those spent with his three grandsons. Marvin will be remembered for his faith, humility, generosity, and devotion to his family. He gladly and willingly sacrificed his own needs to help others.
Marvin was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Barbara Shaw Krueger (LHS Class of 1951); second wife, Ann Darnauer Krueger; brother, Edward Krueger of Decatur, IL; and three sisters, Anna Holtgraver (LHS Class of 1939) of Leavenworth, KS, Lorene Haubein of Lockwood, MO, and Marian Vaughan (LHS Class of 1941) of Van Nuys, CA.
