Marlene F. Wenzel Obituary

Marlene F. Wenzel, age 90, of Wisconsin Rapids, WI, passed away peacefully on November 18, 2024, at Cranberry Court.


A memorial service will be held on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 11:30am at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Church. Rev. Steven Weller will preside. A visitation will take place from 10:00am until the time of service. A burial at Calvary Cemetery will follow.


Marlene was born on September 19, 1934, in Marshfield, WI, to Reuben and Margaret (Keideth) Scheibe. She married the love of her life, James Wenzel, on September 17, 1955, at St. Johns Catholic Church in Marshfield. Together they shared 46 years of marriage before he passed in 2002.


For most of her career she worked as a legal secretary, retiring from Nash Law Office in 1996.


Marlene was a simple woman. She loved to be in the comfort of her home, sewing and cross stitching, and of course, spending time with her family.


She is survived by her daughter, Diane (Rick); her brother, John (Rose) Scheibe; and several nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband, James; daughter, Nancy; and brother, Jerry.


The family would like to thank Renaissance Assisted Living, along with Cranberry Court for the marvelous care they provided Marlene in her final years.


In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Leukemia Society or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Marlene’s name.


Ritchay Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
