Goracke, Mary (Roozen) Age 92, passed away from complications of Alzheimer's disease in Sauk Rapids, MN on April 14, 2015. Mary was born in Valier, Montana, to Garrett and Catherine Roozen on May 9, 1922. She had 9 brothers and 2 sisters. She married Leo Goracke and they raised their 5 children together on their farm in Big Lake Twp, MN. A long time employee of Federal Cartridge, she kept busy after retirement volunteering at Guardian Angels in Elk River and Our Lady of the Lake Church in Big Lake, as well as spending time with her family and numerous friends.
