Irma L. Humberg

Irma L. (Legler) Humberg, age 99, passed away on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at Heartsong Assisted Living in Belleville. She was born on January 19, 1919, to her parents, Emil and Katherine (Elmer) Legler, in the Town of Montrose.

Irma grew up as the older sister to her four brothers. She farmed with her family and also graduated from Belleville High School. During WWII, Irma worked off the farm to contribute to the war effort. On June 10, 1966, she was united in marriage to Raymond Humberg at the Zwingli United Church of Christ-Paoli, where she had been baptized and confirmed. Irma and Ray farmed together and they traveled to many draft horse pulls, auctions, and parades together. Irma loved gardening and flowers, scrapbooking, and her dogs. She was an accomplished seamstress, who would always lend a helping hand to her neighbors. After her marriage, Irma attended services at the Brooklyn Lutheran Church for many years.
