Marie Agnes Unruh passed away July 27, 2025. Marie was born September 30, 1928, to George Henry Hahn and Minerva Harriett (Myers) Hahn of Garfield, KS. Marie was the youngest of nine children — six boys and three girls. The family moved to Garden City, KS in 1941 where Marie graduated from High School in 1946.
Marie met her husband Lee Unruh of Ingalls, KS and was married January 20, 1948. To this union were born ten children; Gary Lee, Donald Allen, Harriett Marie, Glen Francis, William Leon, Vernon Laurence, Mildred Josephine, George Edward, Loretta Rose & Kevin Ray.
Marie & Lee moved to First View, CO February 4th, 1948 to start their home, going into partnership farming with Lee’s Uncle Clarence and brother Waldo. The drought “Fifty Fifties” caused them to leave the farm and move to Cheyenne Wells where Lee was employed by Harmack Grain Elevator, then later for Cheyenne County Coop. In 1969 they purchased the Sinclair Station, operating it until Lee’s death in 1990.
Marie’s favorite entertainment was music and dancing, she actually met her husband Lee at a dance, which led to love and marriage. Her family was her pride and joy! Always her happiest times was to see the family together, telling tales of their past and having fun and watching the children at play.
She devoted her time raising the family and always at hand for her husband when needed - milking cows, driving tractor, loading & stacking hay and general “go-fer” and bookkeeper for the station business.
Marie made many quilts, decorated cakes, engraved glassware, oil paintings, composing music and song lyrics & numerous craft items. She also loved yard work and played her piano or organ for her relaxation. Her caramel rolls were “a must” for the family along with her many other family favorites such as chocolate taffy, noodles, beerocks, popcorn balls, & peanut butter pie.
