Marjorie L. (Oelke) Fromm

Marjorie L. Fromm, 89, Marathon, died Wednesday August 31, 2022, at Copperleaf Assisted Living, Marathon.

She was born April 19, 1933, in Wausau, daughter of the late Albert and Louise (Wilde) Oelke. On October 8, 1960, she married Herbert Fromm at St. John Lutheran Church, Hamburg. He preceded her in death November 1, 2002.

Marge was a homemaker and in true homemaker fashion, she loved to cook and feed her family and friends. She was a longtime member of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Little Chicago and oversaw the Funeral Luncheon Committee for many years. She was an avid sports fan - particularly the Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Chicago Cubs – rarely missing a game. At her heart, she was a farm girl, loved the outdoors, her family, animals (starting as a girl with her first pet sheep and many dogs and cats through the years), fishing, playing women’s softball for many years, her giant garden, canning, smoking her own venison sausage and making her own maple syrup.

Survivors include three children, Robert (Amy) Fromm, Hamburg, Karen (Scott) Mann, Tomah, Eric (Julie) Fromm, Solon Springs; grandchildren, Tess (Meko) Green, Mitchell Fromm, Amanda Mann, Lucas (Ellen) Fromm, Ben Fromm and Sam Fromm; great grandchildren, Hazel, Sterling and Olive; sister-in-law, Joyce Oelke and Alice Fromm; and nieces and nephews Jerome (Janice) Oelke, Rick (Mary Ann) Oelke, Lynita Jo (Ken Pennanen) Guilette, Galen (Elissa) Fromm, Jeremy Fromm and Elizabeth (Caleb) Pagel.

Besides her parents and husband, Marge was preceded in death by her siblings, Wallace, Norman (Verna), Harvey (Violet), Ralph, Myron Oelke and Evelyn (William) Woelfle.
