Marilyn grew up in Marinette, Wisconsin, and graduated from Marinette High School. In 1954 she moved to Milwaukee. There she attended Milwaukee Business College and then worked at TV Guide. She married Jack on June 11, 1960. She and Jack raised their two boys as members of North Trinity Lutheran where Marilyn volunteered for many years, she eventually worked as the church secretary for years until she and Jack retired to Neshkoro, Wisconsin.

Throughout the years Marilyn enjoyed many enthusiasms. She loved to bake and created many birthday, holiday and wedding cakes. She loved to go camping with her family and friends. She and Jack would enjoy spending much time with their “Fun Bunch” in their various activities. Marilyn and Jack spent their years in Neshkoro as members of Peace Lutheran in Wautoma, Wisconsin, enjoying retirement with their nearby friends who also had moved from Milwaukee and many holidays with their nearby in-laws.

In Marilyn’s final years she battled with her Multiple Sclerosis, but maintained her delightful personality until the end.  Marilyn now walks with her Lord in heaven.  Thanks be to God.

A special thank you is given to many thoughtful caregivers for Marilyn over the years especially to Crystal.
