Marie Jean Duval
Marie Jean Duval left her earthly home to be with God July 23, 2010 in
Coeur d’Alene. Marie was born May 13, 1922 in Stanley Wisc., to
Michael Sloboda and Mary Sloboda (Janisewski). Michael was born in
Ukraine in 1882, Mary was born in Poland in 1885. Marie was one of
nine siblings who were raised on the family’s dairy farm near the town
of Stanley.
Marie will always be remembered for her strong faith in God and
willingness to put others before herself. She was a very committed and
loving wife, who took great pride and affection in raising her
children and was a very loving and attentive grandmother. Her greatest
treasure in this life was her family which was by her side when she
peacefully passed away. Marie will forever live on in our hearts and
memories.
She was preceded in death by her parents and all siblings: Anna Goff,
Ed Sloboda, Adeline Sloboda, Donald Sloboda, Nick Sloboda, Jack
Sloboda, Helen Richardson and Olga Bernklau, and one grandson, Jeffrey
Wnek.

and wife Mary, Pamela Comon and husband Chuck, John Karkowski,
Denise Kimm and husband Steve, and six grandchildren: Carrie, Jennifer,
Michelle, Heather, Alyssa; and three great grandchildren, Abigail,
Averi and baby Jackson.

final arrangements.
