Marie Emmadean Kohrs was born on September 12th, 1939 in Rhineland, MO and lived most of her life in St. Louis, MO. Family was her top priority, a legacy that will live on in those who loved her. She was an avid baker, swimmer, card player, and lover of sewing, dogs, and travel. She would (lovingly) remind you that no, her schedule would not be altered if she was going to Mass or a hair appointment. Her door was open for whoever needed it, and there would be a quick smile and an even quicker hug on the other side of it.
Marie E. Kohrs passed away at the age of 85 on July 15th, 2025. She was the devoted wife of Arthur L. Kohrs, who preceded her in death to the day 16 years ago. She was Mom to Paula (Andrew) Hackbarth, Stefan (Maria) Kohrs, and Karen (Mark) Katich. She was Grandma to Marissa (Jacob) Post, Kaitlin (Steven) Haarmann, Jacob Hackbarth, Lydia Hackbarth, Joshua Overbeck, Nicholas (Anna) Mangiore, and Francesca Kohrs.
