Marvin (Corky) Wilfred Torgerson was born on September 9, 1932, to Oscar and Mary Torgerson at the Torgerson homestead (SW 5-38-13) near Fosston, Sask. He was the youngest of nine children.
Marvin married Barbara Ann Halvorson on November 18, 1959. To this union five boys were born.
Marvin started his farming career by working for Hank Meesner at Holdfast, Sask., before he started to farm on his own.
His life centered around his family, his farm, his community and his animals. Marvin and Barbara enjoyed working together on the family farm - milking the cows, raising their chickens and visiting with the good company that would stop by from time to time. His pride and joy was his 70 John Deere. He also enjoyed a sociable drink with his friends, visiting and telling good stories.
Marvin and Barbara enjoyed watching their five boys grow up on the family farm. The memories will be cherished forever. They are grateful for the daughters-in-law who came into their family and all of the help that they gave.
Marvin and Barbara enjoyed their grandchildren and, later, great-grandchildren coming out to the farm and spending countless hours with them. Barbara will miss her partner in life, Corky, dearly. They had an enjoyable life together.
Marvin was predeceased by his parents, Oscar and Mary; brothers and sisters, Morris, Irene, Edna, Clifford, Lloyd and Robert; and niece Lorraine Cummings.
Left to celebrate his life and cherish his memory are Barbara, his wife of 55 years; his children, Terry (Fran) of Elfros; Roger (Debbie) of Fosston; Dale (Vickie) of Fosston; Darrin (Willy) of Fosston; and David (Cindy) of Wadena; grandchildren, Boni (Aaron) Dorish of Saskatoon; Sherry of Regina; Ashley (Kevin Clark) of Martensville; and Michael of Elfros; great-grandchildren, Serenity, Ava, Ainsley and Axton; sisters and brother-in-law, Lillian and Arnold Petty and Verna Hanson; sister-in-law Raelene Torgerson; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
