Margie Schlosser

Margie Ann Burton

Margie Ann Burton Schlosser, 88, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.

She was born on April 27, 1938, in Fornfelt, Missouri, to Eugene and Bessie (Stone) Burton. On October 27, 1956, she was united in marriage to Maurice Schlosser at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Kelso, Missouri. Together they shared more than 63 years of marriage before Maurice preceded her in death on March 13, 2020.

Margie is survived by her children, Kathy Schlosser; Tim Schlosser and Gail; Randy and Tina Schlosser; and Sandy and Bob Drury. She is also survived by her brother, Jim Burton and his wife, Pat.

She was the proud grandmother of Ryan Schlosser and Amber (Nick) Burger; Eric (Julie), Adam, and Cody (Karri) Schlosser; and Mark (Kristin) and Nick Drury. Her legacy continues through her fourteen great-grandchildren: Lillian, Ellie, and Collin Burger; Blaine and Brynn Schlosser; Rayleigh and Gage Schlosser; Waylon, Charlie, and Gus Schlosser; Ellie and Lexie Carpenter; and Bryar and Sonny Drury. She is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Margie held a special place in her heart for her longtime friend, Roberta Patterson, and her beloved dog, Lola.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Margie spent much of her life working alongside her husband on the family farm. Together they brought Maurice's dream to life when they established Old McMaurice's Farm. Their unique farm became home to a variety of exotic animals, including buffalo, deer, zebras, camels, antelope, ostriches, wallabies, peacocks, pheasants, and fainting goats. Margie especially enjoyed welcoming school children to the farm and giving tours, creating lasting memories for countless visitors.

Margie had a gift for nurturing beauty. She loved gardening and was known for growing stunning flowers. She was also an exceptional cook who lovingly prepared meals every day for her family, friends, and the many farmhands who became part of her extended family. She and Maurice also shared a love of travel and were fortunate to visit many memorable places together.

Those who knew Margie knew she loved flowers, beautiful jewelry, anything that sparkled, and never turned down a sweet treat. More importantly, she was a quiet servant with a generous heart, always willing to help others without seeking recognition.

Margie was active in her community and dedicated many hours of service to organizations she cared deeply about. She was a member of the Commerce Historical Society, the Ladies Elks, where she served for many years as president, and the Eagles Club. She also served on the board of the New Hamburg Fire Department.

In addition to her husband, Maurice, she was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Bessie Burton; her brother, Elmer Burton; her sisters, Iva Tucker, Maxine Messmer, and Barb Garrett; and her infant sister, Mary Lou Burton.
