Marlene Walters

PAID OBITUARY

Mrs. Marlene Ann Walters, 64 years old, of Lake Tomahawk, passed away Friday, Dec. 7, 2018, at Ascension St. Clare’s Hospital in Wausau from complications of cardiac arrest.

She was born in Neenah on April 1, 1954, and adopted by Alice M. (Dahlin) and Elmer C. Bohl of Ashwaubenon.  

Marlene graduated from Ashwaubenon High School and attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where she met James C. Veloon. They were married June 12, 1976.  

Marlene was a teacher with a master’s degree in education from Viterbo University and spent her life working throughout the State of Wisconsin — Bethesda Lutheran Home in Watertown and the Green Bay, Kickapoo and Oak Creek school districts.

Her husband Jim passed away in 2004.  

Marlene later met and married Daniel L. Walters of LeRoy. The two were married Sept. 12, 2013, and enjoyed their retirement in their home on Horsehead Lake in Lake Tomahawk.

An avid crafter and quilter, Marlene enjoyed sewing and her yearly trips to Paducah, Ky., for the quilt show that she talked about year-round. Her other pursuits included baking, cooking, traveling and gardening. She also enjoyed the company of her dogs Coco and Kyande and her cats.  

Her creativity and humor were never ending and will live on in all of us.  Words cannot express how much she will be missed by her family and friends.
