Marcine J. Niemeyer

Marcine Niemeyer, 89, of Bowling Green, Missouri, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on August 14, 2026, at Lynn’s Heritage House, in Louisiana. Marcine was born in Curryville, Missouri to John and Gertude Korte Niemeyer on July 4, 1937. He graduated from Cyrene School and Bowling Green High School. He served 8 years in the Army Reserves and ended his service as a Staff Sergeant. For 66 years, Marcine shared his life with his beloved wife, Elaine Privett Niemeyer. Together, they built a life grounded in faith, commitment, hard work, and love. Their marriage was a lasting example of devotion and partnership. Shortly after their marriage, he and Elaine purchased a farm in rural New Hartford and began building their life’s work. Through determination and decades of steady effort, together they built a successful farm where they raised their sons. He was the proud father of four sons: Mark Niemeyer and his wife, Bonnie Funk Niemeyer; Earl Niemeyer and his wife, Shari Hearn Niemeyer; Mel Niemeyer and his wife, Laurie Condon Niemeyer; and Jay Niemeyer and his significant other, Jennifer Faherty. Marcine’s greatest joy was his family which also includes his grandchildren: Ryan and Ashley Niemeyer; Scott and Jen Niemeyer; Elizabeth and Justin Edmond; Reed Niemeyer; Adam Niemeyer; Lillian Niemeyer; Kelsey Condon; and Mara Niemeyer. He was also blessed with great-grandchildren: Jayten Edmond, Adalynn Edmond, Madison Edmond, Haven Niemeyer, Luke Niemeyer, Charlotte Niemeyer, Brooks Niemeyer, Maeve Niemeyer and Scarlett Rose. Marcine is also survived by his siblings: Jeanette Marcus, Leanard Niemeyer, Eugene and Teese Niemeyer, Joyce Bibb, Alice and Phil Shocklee, Ellen and Dennis Sutter and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Marcine was deeply involved in agriculture and his community. He was an active leader in the Hartford Go-Getters 4-H club and Extension Council. He served many years as president of Pike County Farm Bureau and Treasurer of Missouri Farm Bureau’s PAC. Marcine was a lifetime member of St. Clement Catholic Church, served as a member of the Parish Council and was a 3rd Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. After selling the family farm, Marcine embraced a new chapter of life traveling with Elaine. Together they explored much of the country by group bus trip or taking off with Elaine by car. He especially enjoyed visits to Presidential libraries and learning more about American history. After a long and courageous journey with Parkinson’s disease and cancer, Marcine is now at peace. He will be deeply missed by Elaine, his sons and their families, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will live on in the family he loved and the life he built. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00am on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at St. Clement Catholic Church with Fr. Walter Kispotta and Deacon Wayne Korte officiating. Pallbearers will be his 8 grandchildren. Burial will be in the St. Clement Catholic Church Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 4:00pm until 7:00pm on Monday, August 17, 2026, at the Bibb-Veach Funeral Home & Crematory, in Bowling Green.
