Marie Forster entered the life eternal on Thursday, May 14, 2009, at the age of ninety-eight. Born Maria Martha Unrath in Boll, Germany, on December 11, 1924, Marie immigrated to America in 1924, at the age of fourteen. She first settled in Philadelphia, where she lived with her aunt and uncle and worked in their bakery.
In time she made her way to New York City, where she met a fellow German immigrant, Max Ernst Forster. Max and Marie married in 1931 and became American citizens in 1934. Max and Marie made their home in New Jersey and lived on MacDonald Drive in Wayne for many years.
Max and Marie were charter members of St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Wayne, joining the congregation upon its incorporation in 1957. Marie was an active member of Lutheran Church Women and St. Timothy’s Altar Guild for many years. In addition to her church work, Marie enjoyed playing bridge.
Max died in 1978, following a bout with Alzheimer’s disease. Marie remained active for many years, but began losing her sight in the late 1990’s. She moved to Crane’s Mill in 2000 and had been living there since.
Marie is survived by a sister, Marta, in Germany.
Marie was a generous contributor to St. Timothy’s recent building project, “A Connection of Faith.” Memorial gifts may be made to the St. Timothy Lutheran Church Building Fund, 395 Valley Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
