Marie C. Nikolai, age 90, of Colby, passed away on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 at

Marie was born on February 19, 1931, the daughter of Albert and Elsie (Becker)

worked at Miller’s Bakery until 1996. Marie then worked at Hardees in Abbotsford
and in Colby as a custodian at her faith community school enjoying the
youngsters. Marie cared about her faith, church, children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. She loved playing card games, especially sheepshead. Marie
loved flower gardening both inside and outside her home smelling the many
blossoms or showing their colors to the world around her. She collected antique
water pitchers and matching basins and coins. Marie cheered for the Packers and
enjoyed reading the local newspaper. Most of all, she enjoyed her cats (Muffin,
Sparkie, Goldie and Spitzer) along with the many birds and wildlife inhabiting
her yard throughout the year.
