Marietta Dolores (Fehringer) Leypoldt the Daughter of Anthony (Anton) and Loretta (Schilz) Fehringer was born in Humphrey, NE on April 15, 1927 and moved to Peetz, CO when she was 3 years old. She was the second of four siblings.
She attended school in Peetz but graduated from Lorenzo due to the Peetz School burning down the summer before her senior year. After graduation she worked at the Roach Hospital in Sidney until her marriage. In 1971 she began her career with Cabela’s until her retirement in 1991.
She was united in marriage to Nyle F. Leypoldt on October 4, 1948 in Peetz.
She was very active member of St. Patrick’s Church and school as pep club sponsor, cafeteria assistant, church choir, altar society, athletic association, square dancing and more. She was a member of the Plainview Extension Club, Ft. Sidney Colonels, Prairie Schooners Square Dance Club, Union Pacific Oldtimers and Cabela’s retirement group.
Marietta’s passion was singing, playing cards and telling stories. She began singing in grade school and continued until she was well into her 80s. She sang for many weddings, funerals, barber shop as well as singing for many years for the local residents at Sidney’s nursing homes. Marietta was a resident of Assisted Living and Long Term Care. She embraced both locations as “her home” and never complained. The staff became her new friends and family.
