Marion loved being a crossing guard at Smith School during the 1960s. After that, her enjoyment came from waitressing at Kinker’s Korners in Van Dyne and then at Marco’s Italian Gardens in Oshkosh. She then retired from Wal Mart as a cashier in the mid 1990s.
Marion, along with her late husband Ray, were faced with many challenges while bringing up their three children, all with having Muscular Dystrophy. She was such a loving, caring and devoted Mom who taught her kids to never give up, no matter how hard life's obstacles could be for them. Marion also enjoyed taking many vacations with her family as a Mom and then as a Grandma.
Marion is survived by one daughter; Lynn (Mike Nelson) Hemminghaus, two daughters-in-law; Gudrun and Betsy Hemminghaus, two grandsons; Luke and Paul Hemminghaus, all of Oshkosh. Nephew; Glen (Julie) Barthels, nieces; Jane (Ben) Hughes, and La Rae and Le Ann Bradley.
