Marvel Barkema, the daughter of Hauko and Trace (Liewuen) Barkema, was born on the family farm east of Goodell in Hancock county on Nov. 3, 1923. Following the death of her mother, she lived with her aunt Lillie (Mrs. Andrew Faaborg). She attended school in Meservey, Iowa. When she finished her schooling, Marvel worked in homes in the area. She was united in marriage to Edward Luvern Stadtlander, Oct. 20, 1944, at the First Reformed Church Parsonage in Meservey by the Rev. Kampman. The couple's union was blessed with three sons: Dennis, David and Darwin. Later after their marriage, the couple moved to a farm in the Rockwell-Swaledale area where they farmed and raised their family for 28 years. Marvel was not only a loving spouse and nurturing mother, but was a integral partner with her husband in the many tasks and chores of the farming operation. Marvel helped raise the livestock and was especially proficient at duties involving the chicken sector for the farming operation. The couple retired from farming in 1976 and moved into the town of Sheffield. They enjoyed many years wintering in Arizona prior to Ed preceding Marvel in death on June 6, 1989. Following Ed's passing away, Marvel continued to live in Sheffield where she enjoyed meticulously caring for her yard, spending time with her family and friends, and remained active in the First Reformed Church in Meservey. As her health declined in more recent times she moved to the Rehabilitation Center of Hampton. Marvel's life and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all who had the privilege of crossing in her life journey. Her family will reflect fondly upon the wonderful years of life on the farm, where she and Ed instilled the values of hard work, faith and family. They will miss the tantalizing aromas that often met them upon arrival in Marvel's home, as she always prepared many delicious meals including her fried chicken, homemade chocolate cake with boiled frosting, loaded chocolate chip cookies, and numerous other desserts for all who graced her kitchen. Marvel is survived by two sons: David (Carol) of Sheffield, Iowa, and Darwin (Kathy), Buffalo, Minn.; six grandchildren: Denise (Steve) Jensen, Ringsted, Iowa, Dawn Looft, Fairmont, Minn., Michelle (Lance) Thompson, Sheffield, Iowa, Mark (Julie) Stadtlander, Manhattan, Kan., Stacy (Jon) Behrens, St. Michael, Minn., Amy (Brent) Gerten, Lino Lakes, Minn. Twelve great-grandchildren: Ethan and Clyve Jensen; DJ, Dylan and Dena Looft; Cody and Clay Emhoff; Brianna Stadtlander; Alex and Kendra Behrens; Andrew and Samantha Gerten. She is also survived by one brother, Harvey Barkema; one sister Jean Ostendorf; and two sisters-in-law, Irene Barkema and Betty Barkema. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Edward, one son, Dennis, one grandson, four brothers, Ted (Alice), Mervin, Leo (Noreen) and Leland, and a sister-in-law Irene Barkema.
