Gertie had many activities that gave her joy in life including gardening, bowling, baking, knitting, crocheting, sewing, playing cards and Pokeno. She also had a great love of driving.  She put her love of driving her car to good use by visiting the sick and elderly, delivering meals on wheels, delivering parts or supplies to those on the farm, and just being an all around taxi to those who needed assistance.  Any time she got to spend in her car, even if it was just for a relaxing Sunday drive enjoying the countryside was time well spent.  To those who knew her best, Gertie will always be remembered for being a patient, caring, and loving woman.  In life, she was a peacemaker.  What Gertie loved most in her life was time she got to spend with her family and grandchildren that she loved so much.  Gertie is survived by her children Jim (Joan) Cremers, St. Anthony; Bob (Ann) Cremers, St. Anthony; Mary Kay (Mark) Hoeschen, St. Joseph; Joyce (Fritz) Hoeschen, Freeport; and her 13 grandchildren and 23 ½ great-grandchildren.She is preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Anna Poxleitner, her husband Alex Cremers who passed in 2006, her grandson Chad Cremers, and her siblings Ray Poxleitner, Ceil Schwinghammer, John Poxleitner, Theresa Forster, Joe Poxleitner, Mary Schiffler, Benno Poxleitner, and Rita Groetsch.
