Marie Kleewein

M arie Kleewein, formerly of Colorado, passed away in North Platte, NE, on Tuesday, August 18, 2020, at the age of 90.

Marie was born January 12, 1930, to Robert and Dorothy Worth in Rockford, IL, then the family moved to Denver when she was 7. She graduated from North High School then worked for the telephone company.

After Marie and her sister, Mary Lou, were introduced to the Kleewein brothers, the Worth sisters married Kleewein brothers. On May 31, 1952, Marie was united in marriage to Joseph Kleewein at Castle Rock, CO. The couple lived in Englewood, CO, where Marie stayed home to raise their four children. She loved helping with her kid’s activities and just being around kids. She was a leader for Cub Scouts, 4-H, Brownies and Blue Birds, and a volunteer at Englewood Schools, helping in the kitchen and as a classroom aide. Marie loved being a mom and was by far the Best Mom In The World!

In her free time she liked crocheting, painting and playing her Baldwin upright piano, which she’d had since she was 16 years old. Marie was a member of Sigma Kapa Pi Sorority (a business girls sorority) when she was younger.

After Joseph died in 2017, Marie moved to North Platte to be closer to her daughter, Charlotte Rolf.

Marie is survived by her children, Robert (Patti) Kleewein, of Littleton, CO, Marvin Kleewein, of Englewood, CO, and Charlotte Rolf, of North Platte, NE; son-in-law, Otto Hultgren, of Michigan; grandchildren, Jeremy, Adrianne, Walter, Lancer, Jason and Nathan; great-grandchildren, Elliot and Asthlyn; and other family.

Along with her husband, Marie was preceded in death by their daughter, Mary Hultgren; her parents, Robert and Dorothy Worth; sister, Mary Lou Kleewein; and son-in-law, Richard Rolf.

Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 25, at the Archdiocese of Denver Mortuary Chapel in Wheat Ridge with burial to follow in Mt. Olive Cemetery. Condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Odean Colonial Chapel at C & Sycamore is in charge of local arrangements.
