Marie L. (Kofler) Lindwall

Marie Lucille (Kofler) Lindwall, 72, Wausau peacefully passed away on June 26, 2022, at Marshfield Medical Center Weston.

She was born on January 4, 1950, in Medford to Leonard and Emily (Surek) Kofler. She was raised on the family farm in Rib Lake with her two brothers and sister. She attended Rib Lake schools graduating from Rib Lake High School in 1968.

Marie met the love of her life Dale A. Lindwall while working at the local diner. She waited for him to return from the Vietnam War. They were married June 12, 1971, at St John the Baptist Catholic Church, Rib Lake. They moved to and called the Wausau Area home for the next 51 years. In 1985 they joined two other business partners and started the small business Stainless Specialists, eventually becoming the sole owners. They owned the business for almost 20 years. She played an active role in running the business while maintaining a loving home for her family.

Marie had a big heart, always putting her family and others needs before her own. She was a talented gardener and planted beautiful flower beds. Her cooking and baking skills were second to none. She and Dale were members of the Wisconsin Road Knights car club. They were just starting to enjoy their retirement, especially spending time sitting around their fire pit and going to car shows.

She is survived by her husband Dale, and her children Scott (Gretchen), Connie (Russell) Endvick and Paul (Heather), her siblings Peter and Mike (Kathy) Kofler, grandchildren Branden Anderson, Emily and Elizabeth Lindwall.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Vickie (Kenneth) Wudi.

The family would like to send their sincere thanks to all the medical staff that compassionately cared for her during the last years of her life.

There will be a private celebration of life in the future.  Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Wausau is in charge of arrangements.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com
