Leander Citrowske
d. May 17, 2019
Leander Benedict Citrowske was born May 27, 1936, in St. Leo, Minnesota to Albert and Margaret (Krause) Citrowske. He was one of nine children. Leander was baptized and confirmed at St. Leo Catholic Church and also attended school there.
Leander was united in marriage to RoseMary Fry on October 17, 1955. The couple made their home on a farm southwest of St. Leo. They were blessed with seven children, Randell, Linda, Rhonda, Gery, Thomas, Douglas and Marlin. Leander and RoseMary shared over 33 years together before RoseMary passed away on March 13, 1989.
Leander farmed many years and later started working for Case Implement in Montevideo delivering parts to farmers in the area. He also worked at Spec Systems, Inc in Montevideo.
On November 20, 1993, Leander was united in marriage to Lucille Reyerson. Together they made their home in Montevideo. He valued his faith and was an active member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Leander enjoyed tinkering with things in his garage, going to the lake and spending weekends in their trailer near Villard, Minnesota. He also enjoyed his garden plot that they had in the Smith Addition. Leander loved to share his garden produce with everyone.
Leander faced many obstacles throughout his life, but the biggest one he faced and could not overcome was cancer. He passed away peacefully at his home on May 17, 2019, at the age of 82 years, 11 months and 20 days.

Blessed be his memory.
