Marvin Kreiger
June 1, 1933 — April 6, 2013
Marvin D Kreiger, age 79, passed gently from his earthly life on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at Heritage House of Woodburn, Oregon. Marvin, called "Bud" by his West Coast family and friends, and "D" by his loved ones in the Midwest, succumbed to Parkinson's Disease.
Bud, known and loved for his kind heart was, appropriately enough, born in the Heartland in Lowell, Kansas on June 1, 1933, the youngest son of August and Nellie (Abbott) Kreiger. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, August Kreiger, Jr , his sister, Norma Kreiger, step-daughter Jeanne LaNell, step-grandchildren Katherine Quigg Blake and Bryan Taylor, and step-great-granddaughter Charlene Neal.
Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Doris H. (Neuenschwander) Kreiger of Woodburn, OR; step-children Charlene Magana and husband Jose of Paauilo, HI; Larry Liegerot and wife Theresa of Salem; Janet Smith of San Diego, CA; Ken Liegerot of Independence; Jill Taylor and husband Ferren of Silverton; and two siblings, Bernard Kreiger of Rogers, Arkansas; and Lena McBeth of Boulder, Colorado. Other survivors include thirteen step-grandchildren, seventeen step-great-grandchildren, three step-great-great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Bud grew up in Cherokee County, KS, and was raised and educated in Riverton, Galena, Crestline and Columbus, KS. He enlisted in the Army and served his country in Korea. Bud and his wife Doris were married in Carthage, MO, and have enjoyed living in a variety of communities over the years. They made many friends in the states of Kansas, Missouri, California, Texas, and Oregon.
Bud was skilled in auto mechanics, and also traveled coast to coast as a professional furniture mover. He loved laughter in the home, lending a helping hand, and listening to a good fiddler. He enjoyed fishing, gardening with his wife, and buying and selling antiques. With a great appreciation of God's creations, he remained a country boy at heart.
Internment will be at Restlawn Memorial Gardens in Salem. The family is planning a private remembrance of Bud's life at a later date. Memorial donations may be made at parkinson.org.
