Marjorie Ammend

Marjorie Mae Ammend , age 88, a resident of Lawson Manor in Luck, passed away in her much loved, adopted home on Friday, February 8, 2019.
She was born on October 15, 1930 in Minneapolis, MN, to parents, Leigh and Gladys (Michelsheck) Roberts.
Marge was married to her husband, Tom, on January 20, 1951. They were best friends for 61 years and raised four children together.  They were a kind, outgoing and devoted couple who always had fun traveling, dancing and getting together with friends and neighbors. They took many family trips to go boating on the St. Croix River, skiing and camping.
Marge genuinely loved people and had many lifelong friends who will remember the great fun they had on the creek, the golf course, the lake, and even just in the living room, having cocktails.
Marge got her love of duck hunting, fishing and gardening from her dad, interests she held throughout her life. She was an avid golfer and was the only woman on the Spooner Golf Course Board of Directors. She was also a proud volunteer at the Metropolitan Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN.
She was an animal lover and appreciated the wildlife around their home on Long Lake and in Spooner. She was very attached to the several dogs she and Tom had over the years. Marge was generous with her time, eminently capable, and always willing to lend a hand.
Never one to dwell on the negative, Marge approached everything with an open-mind and a sense of humor. She was perpetually cheerful, happy and willing to help or befriend all. It was hard to be with her and not have fun. She possessed a wonderful off beat wit and laughed easily at herself and with others. Her colorful, vibrant personality was reflected in her unique sense of style. She was elected Homecoming Queen by her senior class in 1949 (not that she ever mentioned it), and no doubt could have been the Homecoming Queen of Lawson Manor. Marge was thoroughly loved and will be missed by many.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Thomas; and brother, Thomas.
Marjorie is survived by her children: Steve (Cherie) Ammend, Bill (Jayne) Ammend, Nancy (Kent) Krause, and Dave (Maria) Ammend; grandchildren: Christy, Stephanie, Andrea, Brett, Joshua, Andrew, Leslie, and Madeline; her great-grandchildren: Isaiah, Oliver, Nora, Tomas, Mila, and Dahlia; she is also survived by other relatives and friends.
A visitation and gathering of friends and family will be Wednesday, February 13, 2019 from 5:00-7:30 PM at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home, Webster.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lawson Manor Activity Fund, 625 South 2 nd Street, Luck, WI 54853.
