Mary Roehl Meyer

Mary Roehl Meyer, 86, of Missoula Montana, passed away Wednesday, Sept 14, 2022, after a long battle with Alzheimers. She was born September 8, 1936, in New Leipzig, North Dakota to Sam and Lydia Roehl and was the eighth of twelve children. In New Leipzig they lived on a farm and Mary loved being outside riding pigs, playing with her siblings and cousins, and helping with the farm. To her last day she felt most at home in North Dakota.

Mary and her family moved to Missoula and she attended Missoula County High School, graduating in 1955. She met Chuck (Dutch) Meyer at the roller rink and they were married in 1956. They had two daughters, Tammy (Meyer) Holshue and Tracy Meyer, two grandchildren Joel Holshue (Nickole), and Jacob Holshue, and two great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents and four siblings, Herb Roehl, Chuck Roehl, Adeline Roehl Joscelyn, and Lillian Roehl Lee. She is sur-vived by siblings Ray Roehl, Dorothy Roehl Mckenzie, Pauline Roehl Amon, Ruby Roehl Baylor, Viola Roehl Ward, Luella Roehl Simrell and Irene Roehl Mowan. She is also survived by her husband, children and grandchildren.

Mary loved to travel and attended the New Leipzig Oktoberfest and reunions for several years.

Mary was truly a special women and her presence will be greatly missed; however, we take solace in knowing that Mary is now with her Creator and her beloved family members that went before her.

Mary’s celebration of life was in Missoula September 23 and she rests in Sunset Memorial Gardens, Missoula.
