Marjorie K. Mathias

Marjorie Kauser “Margie” Mathias, a long-time resident of Fort Wayne, left the earthly life on May 27, 2020.

Marjorie was born October 11, 1931 in Paulding, OH, and graduated from Paulding High School in 1949. She then graduated from International Business College in 1951, and worked as an administrative secretary at Fort Wayne State School, and as a bank teller at the Northcrest branch of Lincoln Bank from 1969-1989. Marjorie moved to Fredericksburg, VA in 2017 where she lived with her daughter, Peggy (Mathias) Rasmussen.

Margie was active in church activities and was a member of the Alter Guild at Trinity English Lutheran in Fort Wayne. She enjoyed bowling at the Elks Club on Thursday nights for 30 years. Margie ushered at the Civic Theatre, was a subscriber of Arena Dinner Theatre, and enjoyed traveling and attending Tin Caps games. She was a wonderful mother who found great joy in celebrating the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren.

Margie is survived by her daughter, Peggy Rasmussen (Peter); grandchildren Katherine, Matthew, and Kyle Rasmussen; brother John Henry Kauser of Paulding, OH; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Anna Kauser; her husband, Frederick James “Jim” Mathias; son Carlton Mathias; and sister Eileen Geyer.

A memorial service with interment of ashes at Live Oak Cemetery in Paulding, OH is planned for later this summer.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent to Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, IN.
