Marguerite Magdalen Krywko

Marguerite Magdalen Krywko of Caro, age 90, passed away on Thursday, June 2, 2022 at the Tuscola County Medical Care Community in Caro, following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's, and with her family at her side. Marguerite was born May 7, 1932 in Cass City, the daughter of the late Joseph and Cecelia (Jankos) Pawlowski and was a proud graduate of Cass City High School, Class of 1950. She was united in marriage with Eugene John Krywko at St. Pancratius Church in Cass City on April 27, 1963. Their courtship began at the Deford gas station when Gene ate one of her roses from a wedding cake she was delivering. He preceded her in death in December 1999. Marguerite worked for a period of time at General Cable in Cass City, but her true calling was being a homemaker, hosting holiday family gatherings, watching neighborhood kids at the pond, and loving her nieces and nephews as her own. She was a very active member of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Wilmot, participating in their Altar Society and Christian Service Committee, and being a eucharistic minister. Marguerite was a Wells Willing Workers 4-H Club leader, served as a Tuscola County Polish American Club member, and volunteered with the Caro Community Hospital Women's Auxiliary. Her hobbies included gardening, canning, knitting, crocheting, quilting, reading, and completing crossword puzzles. She enjoyed playing Pinochle and Euchre and loved Polka dancing. Marguerite loved to bake and made countless birthday, graduation, and wedding cakes. She had an extensive collection of salt and pepper shakers. Marguerite is survived by three children, Lori Krywko of Caro, Eugene Krywko of Caro, Diann Krywko and husband, Christopher Sjolander, of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina; four grandchildren, Sarah Weingartz, Nikolai, Vivienne and Genevieve Sjolander; sister, Dorothy Murrish; sister-in-law, Virginia Krywko; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two sisters, Virginia Mis and Charlotte Williamson; brother, Robert Pawlowski; brothers-in-law, Frank Hodges, Walter Mis, Frederick Murrish, Anthony Williamson; and sister-in-law, Delores Pawlowski.
