She graduated from Colby High School in 1972. She was united in marriage to Larry Hass in 1973, later divorcing. Together they had three children Carrie, Kimberly, and Nathan.  Marilyn then married Neil Luepke on April 24, 1987 in Marshfield.  He preceded her in death.  Through the last years of her life she was blessed to have her “Sweetie” Dale Hoernke by her side as her life partner.

She worked as a graphic designer at the Tribune-Phonograph, Agri-View Farm Paper, Performance Printing, and Heinzen Printing.  She enjoyed the last several years in retirement.

In the summer you could find her tending to her flower baskets and garden.  She also enjoyed shopping (while chatting with everyone). She especially enjoyed time spent with Dale, her family and grandchildren.

She will truly be missed.
