Marilyn June Hintze, 88, passed away November
19, 2017, in Bonners Ferry following a brief
illness. Visitation will be held at 10 a.m.
Saturday, December 9, with a funeral service to
follow at 11 a.m. at Peace Lutheran Church,
10868 Old 51 North, Arbor Vitae, Wisconsin. Her
final resting place will be at Restlawn Cemetery
in Wausau.
She was born March 9, 1929, in Wausau,
Wisconsin, to Ewald and Esther Ziebell, and was
the oldest of three siblings who included her
brothers Richard and Roger Ziebell. She helped
her parents at the grocery store they owned in
Wausau, and graduated from Wausau High School.
Marilyn married Raymond Hintze on September 6,
1947, in Wausau. They raised eight children,
moving frequently because of Ray’s job with A &
P Grocery. They later owned their own grocery
store in Scales Mound, Illinois. The family
moved to Bergland, Michigan, in the early 1970s,
where they also owned and operated a grocery
store.
When the last of their children were finishing
high school, Marilyn went back to school and
earned a degree in licensed practical nursing at
Gogebic Community College in Ironwood, Michigan.
She worked as an LPN for a number of years at
the Woodland Manor in Woodruff, Wisconsin.
Marilyn and Ray retired to the
Woodruff/Minocqua, Wisconsin, area in the
mid-1980s. After Ray passed away in 1987,
Marilyn operated a daycare center in her home
for many years.
Known affectionately by her family as “Grandma
Nan,” Marilyn had a special bond with children.
Spending time with her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren were some of her happiest
days. She had a nurturing, soothing demeanor
that could calm a crying child in an instant.
In addition to being a loving wife, mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother, Marilyn was
also a prolific knitter who made hundreds and
hundreds of pairs of mittens and socks through
the years. Her Christian faith was an important
part of her life, and she faithfully attended
the Lutheran church.
Marilyn is preceded in death by her husband Ray,
and a great-grandchild, Isaac.
She is survived by her eight children, Tim
(Lynnette) Hintze, Whitefish, Montana, Tom
(Mary) Hintze, Bergland, Michigan, Terry (Katie)
Hintze, Arlington, Washington; Ted (Patty)
Hintze, Fremont, Michigan, Cindy (Scott) Davis,
Marshalltown, Iowa, Diane (Robert) Blanford,
Bonners Ferry, Patty Karpinski, St. Paul,
Minnesota, and Sharon Hintze, Bonners Ferry, 17
grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, brothers
Richard (Nancy) and Roger (Jane), all of Wausau,
and several nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the
Marilyn Hintze Memorial Fund, in care of Peace
Lutheran Church, which will provide assistance
to families in need.
Lakeview Funeral Home and Cremation Service,
Sandpoint, has been entrusted with the
arrangement. Family and friends are asked to
sign her
guest book. |
