Mary Meyer
September 3, 1930 — December 11, 2022
Mary L. Meyer, 92, of Fergus Falls, died Sunday, December 11, 2022 at PioneerCare in Fergus Falls.
Mary Louise Nennig was born September 3, 1930 to Michael and Viola (Wanek) Nennig in Brandrup Township, Wilkin County. She attended a one-room school house in Brandrup Township. She worked as a hired girl for the Hoffman family at the age of 15, until she and Cyril Meyer married on November 3, 1948 in Fairmount, ND.
After Cyril and Mary married, she worked as a homemaker. Later in her married life as the four children came along, Mary took in sewing and alterations and also began baking and decorating all kinds of cakes…wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc. She became very well-known in the area for her beautiful and delicious cakes. At Christmas time her cookies were works of art and people from all over the area ordered them.
She was a member of St. Mary’s Church choir, Christian Mothers, and church circle.
Some of her favorite past-times were baking, sewing, crafting, needle work, gardening, and traveling when Cyril was living.
