Nancy so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing, no matter the age it's still tough to lose such an important person in our life. Wishing you and your family peace and I'm sorry I can't attend her service to honor her memory but I watch my grandkids (2 and 4) and it would be a whole different program with us there.
With our Best Regards to you family,

The Marschke family was always part of our lives. Milt and Wilma and my folks were all part of a hard working core of families that farmed together, played cards together, worried together. Wilma was the quintessential farm wife. I can still see her in her work clothes sharing a cup of coffee with my mom as well as all dressed up ready to go out to dinner. She was a loving, supportive wife, a great mother, and a good friend to my parents. She and Milt attended milestones in my life including my graduation and wedding. She was always there for us, in good times and bad. To Nancy, Joanne, Diane, and Ron and the rest of her loved ones, my deepest sympathy. Cindy Calay Vince

I Remember the day the Marschkes moved into our neighborhood. They were my folks best friends as the Marschkes loved playing Euchre, rook, and just about any card game as much as my Mom and Dad did. Wilma's laugh was like no other. Even though we were upstairs we always knew when she won. She taught Karen and I how to sew for 4-H course. A very patient lady. When I was in High School I baby sat the girls. One night just after I arrived at your house, Milt pulled the stove away from the wall in the kitchen for some reason and found $300. Willma went at once to the phone and called my folks and just said, "We are going out Saturday." Lee (My hubby) and I made it a point to try to stop and see Wilma when we were in the area. She always greeted us like family and told us stories of what all her kids were up to. She was a warm, friendly, loving example for all of us. You were blessed to have her all the years.
