Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis of 50 years, her parents Joseph and Melva Wolfe, her sisters Doris Novak and Mary Kosharek, her parents- in- law Irving and Mamie Anderson and her brother-in- law Wayne Anderson. Mom’s greatest joy was serving her family. She was an incredible cook. She could make a fantastic meal out of anything and her pie was always in demand. Her children came first always and she made many personal sacrifices for the needs of the children. Although she never saw it that way. She was thrilled when grandchildren came into her life. They were always welcomed into her home for short stays, after school or overnights; they were deeply loved. She delighted in them cleaning out the cookie jar. She would say “I will make more”. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a Private Family Graveside Service was held at St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Dodgeville. We thank God for blessing us with a mother who was faithful and steadfast through the challenges of life. We are so blessed to be your children, and grandchildren.
