Obituary for Laura Marguerite Jarmusz (Christophersen)

Laura  Marguerite  Jarmusz (Christophersen)
Laura Marguerite Jarmusz, 103, of Le Mars, passed away on Saturday, September 24, 2016 at Prime Living in Le Mars. A private family service was held on Sunday, September 25, 2016.

Laura Marguerite Christophersen was born on December 14, 1912 in Remsen, Iowa, the daughter of Alvin and Meta (Toedt) Christophersen. She was the fourth of seven children, Henry, Lillian, Charlotte, Laura, Lorena, Delmar and Darold. As a child, she loved to play house with her sisters. Laura also loved to play basketball and softball in school but had to quit in the ninth grade and go to work.
At the age of 22, Laura and her sister Charlotte moved to California where she lived until she was 96. She returned to Iowa to live with her sister, Lorena Becker. In California, she worked two years at Lockheed Aircraft. After that, she became everyone’s favorite waitress, a job she performed for 40 years. When Laura was 42, she married Ken Jarmusz. They were married one month shy of 50 years. After Ken passed away, it was decided that Laura would be best surrounded by love with her family in Iowa. It was a difficult move, but proved to be the best decision. Laura made many friends at Prime Living in Le Mars. And they all thought she was the most loving and caring person they had known. She was an accomplished Pinochle player.
Laura is survived by her sister, Lorena Becker of Le Mars, Iowa and several nieces and nephews who adored her. Her “Iowa Kids” became the children she never had. Laura’s family would like to give special thanks to the friends and staff at Prime Living who lovingly cared for Laura and went above and beyond the call of duty in her last few weeks, especially Jean who made it possible for Laura to stay with her sister. They also would wish to thank Care Initiatives Hospice including, Dena, Kendra, Tenna and Mike. We appreciate you more than you will ever know.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ken; and her siblings, Henry, Lillian, Charlotte, Delmar and Darold.
