Caryl J. Marone

Caryl Joann Marone of Weston, formerly of the Town of Maine, passed away with her family by her side on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.  She was born to Earl and Ella Katz in Detroit, Michigan on August 20, 1932. 

Caryl was united in marriage to Marshal Lynn Marone on April 11, 1953, at The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Detroit. Together she and Lynn raised three children: Barb, Doug, and Dave. 

Caryl worked as a secretary for an ad agency prior to her marriage and was even a hand model in some commercials.

The family moved to the Town of Maine in 1969 where Caryl was a homemaker; loving plants, flowers, her vegetable garden, and especially taking care of her family.  She belonged to Homemakers and Pine Tree Quilting Club, making many quilts.  She also liked to knit and crochet and made many lovely throws for her family members.  She made a point of making sure every child, grandchild, and great-grandchild had a throw handmade to remember her by.  Caryl helped her daughter-in-law make thousands of crocheted cat toys for humane societies around the state and was still making them in her last months. She also loved to do needlework and read books. 

Caryl was an active member of her church and was always willing to help on election day at the Town of Maine Town Hall. 

Baking was another passion.  A favorite recipe of the family was Monster Cookies.  Banana bread was another huge favorite. She hosted many holiday gatherings – Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc., and there was always plenty of food for everyone. 

Caryl’s family was her whole world.  She dearly loved her children and when they gave her grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, she couldn’t have been happier.  You could find family photos on her fridge and in her apartment.  She always supported them in everything they did and made a positive impact on their lives, showing them strong morals, good character, and a strong Christian faith throughout her life.

Caryl is survived by her daughter Barbara Wilcox, son Doug Marone (Perri Ducklow), and son David (Tammy) Marone. She is also survived by her grandchildren Kathie (John) Hannie, Becky (Lucas) Olli, Lisa Marone, Michael Marone, Adam Marone (Nicole LaFave), and Eric (Brittany) Marone.  She was blessed with great-grandchildren Tressa and Tyler Feiner, Marshall and Mitchell Olli, and Ava and Elias Marone and Morgan and Gavin LaFave.

A celebration of her life will be held at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Weston, Wisconsin on Monday, October 9, 2023.  Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service officiated by Pastor Mike Fox at 11 a.m.

The family would like to thank Paster Mike Fox for his caring and for walking the family through this difficult time.  We would also like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Marshfield Medical Center in Weston, especially Dr. Mark Sepnafski, and nurses Corbin, McKenzie, and CNA Anna.

Martha L. Sparks

Martha Lee Sparks “Woma”, 86, Schofield passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

She was born November 12, 1936 in Blakely, Georgia, daughter of the late Richard Louis Nash and Minnie Ethel Roney. On January 11, 1955 she married Moses Sparks in Albany, Georgia. He preceded her in death on February 27, 2020.

Our mother was hands down the most selfless person we have ever known. Her life was her family, and she dedicated every waking moment to the mission. She never had a job, never drove a car, never pursued anything that wasn’t part and parcel of being a mother.  She was an amazing southern cook and her table spread was something to be seen.  You would never leave her house hungry.  Martha was a hard worker and an immaculate housekeeper. She raised 6 children, one of them severely disabled, and her only wish in life was to see them happy.  Our father’s job was such that we never stayed in one place very long, every couple of years we had to pack up and move to another town. It was hard. It meant constantly leaving behind friends and everything familiar, running the social gauntlet as the new kid in school, and starting from scratch to figure out life. But as tough as it was for us kids, we can’t even imagine what it must have been like for our mom.  There was never a single word of complaint from her. There was nothing but love and support and whatever we needed to be whole. Her one simple pleasure that she reserved for herself was her flower garden. Wherever we went, she brought seeds and cuttings from the last garden, and started a new one, and it always flourished. She knew exactly what each of those tiny bulbs and buds needed to thrive, and she made sure they had it. We like to think she probably looked at her children, grandchildren, and her flowers the same way…wanting only to lavish her love on them until they bloomed. Goodbye Mama, we hope you are tending your garden in heaven, or wherever it is that our path leads from this world.

Survivors include her children, Moses (Tammy) Sparks, California, Sharon (Danny) Storts, Tennessee, Susan Breese, Wausau, Ernie (Klaya) Sparks, Minnesota and Nancy (Russ) Sparks, Green Bay, 11 grandchildren, Duncan and Zoey Sparks, Jennifer Joannon, Sarah (Mark) Schroeder, Jessica (Ben) Sorenson, Kevin (Daniel) Sparks, Ken Sparks, Rhiannon Rolson, Zachary Besaw, Ben (Amalia) Breese and Alyse) Breese and her great grandchildren, Jacob, Jared, Joshua, Jaden, Carly, Lily, Norah, Emmett, Addie, Skylar, Max, Oliver and Elliott. She is further survived by her siblings, Roscoe (Charlotte) Nash and Georgewall Nash, both of Georgia and numerous nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents and husband and son, Tony she was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Michael Breese and her siblings, Richard and Russell.

The family would like to thank the staff on the Palliative Care Unit at Aspirus Wausau Hospital for their gentle end of life care provided to Martha and the family.  A very special thank you and love also to Susan.  Susan dedicated much of her time and love caring for not only her mother, but also her Father and Brother Tony.  She kept her wish to her momma and ensured she always had a fresh bouquet of flowers.  Susan, you were a source of comfort and safety for our mother and also for all of us knowing they were so well cared for.  You are an angel.

A Memorial visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau. Burial will be at a later date in Alabama. Online condolences may be expressed at www.peteresonkraemer.com

He attended St. Anthony School in Athens and joined the Army in 1955 where he attained certification as a SAM Crewman and Nike I Operator at Fort Sheridan, Il. He served actively for 2 years and then in the reserves, with the rank of Sergeant, until 1961. He married Mary Katherine King on October 12th, 1957.

He served in this capacity for over a decade. He always said “it was a great honor to serve the farmers of his community.”

Bud came from the humble beginnings of a log cabin and started school in a one room school house. He carried this humbleness with him throughout his life. He grew up on a farm embracing the life and love of the land and its creatures. His love of farming led him to purchase his own farm in 1969 where he cultivated a very large garden for many years including this past summer. He loved to dance!! He was a member of the Central Wisconsin Polka Club, serving as a board member in the early years of his membership. His love of dancing included sponsoring a Polka dance for his 91st birthday. He loved attending the North Central Wisconsin Antique Steam Show so much that he was a lifetime member. He had an appreciation for people of all cultures, making traveling abroad an important part of his retirement. He visited New Zealand, most of Europe, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the Virgin Islands and almost every other state in the Union.

He loved to learn and didn’t believe that education stopped when schooling ended. He kept current by reading the daily paper and watching several news stations. He was certified by the Madison Business College for Real Estate in 1965, attended the Tech for Agricultural studies and even received certification for Tablet and Internet Literacy at the age of 87! Most recently, he was looking forward to taking more internet classes.

He lived a life of service to others. He was a devoted catholic, often serving as usher and lector at every church he attended. He volunteered at St. Anne’s fish fries, AMVETS, the Steam Engine show and cared for the neighborhood cemetery.

Gwendolyn Schultz

Gwendolyn Schultz, 67, Wausau, peacefully entered into eternal life Tuesday, October 3, 2023, surrounded by the love and devotion of her husband, daughter, and sister.

Gwen was born on September 21, 1956, to Orville and Irene (Pogwist) Hintz. She graduated from Newman High School in 1975.

On September 24, 1977, she married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Ken Schultz, at St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Wausau. They were blessed with 46 wonderful years of marriage. The love shared between them was true and pure, a timeless bond that weathered life’s trials and tribulations with unwavering strength. Ken and Gwen were inseparable, two souls destined to share their lives in an unbreakable union. Their love was a source of inspiration to all who had the privilege of witnessing it, a love that served as a reminder of the true meaning of devotion and partnership. Together they shared the love of RV camping at their spot, Lake Emily Campground. They enjoyed the simple pleasures of a Saturday mass and date night, watching their shows together, and deep conversation.

Gwen had always said that being a wife, mother, and grandmother was the joy of her life. She was a best friend, a confidante, and a guiding light in the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her radiant smile, keen sense of humor, warm heart, and unwavering love touched the lives of everyone she encountered. Wherever Gwen was there was joy and laughter.

As a mother, Gwen was the embodiment of selflessness and love. She dedicated her life to her daughter, Lindsey, always putting her needs before her own. Her love knew no bounds. Gwen taught the true meaning of kindness, compassion, and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with those we love. The mother-daughter bond between them was something so very special. They considered each other best friends from early on in life to the final moments.

Gwen’s greatest calling in life was to be a steadfast and selfless homemaker. She dedicated herself to her family and home. Gwen loved to fill her home with delicious food for her family. She devoutly packed enjoyable, nutritious lunches for a hard day’s work or school for them. Gwen’s love for cooking and baking was not just about the food, but bringing her family together with the conversation and laughter that was shared. It brought her great joy in making magnificent snack spreads for family gatherings, earning her the nickname, “Snack Queen.” So much happiness was felt by herself and her precious grandsons, Jackson and Jevrett, when they received meticulously made snack containers. They always looked forward to a “grandma snack.”

Gwen turned her home into a beautiful space with her keen eye for interior decorating. She had a love for fashion and enjoyed sewing. She always carried herself with elegance and style, setting an example for those around her with her impeccable taste and flair for fashion, inspiring many around her.

Gwen’s life was a testament to the power of deep faith, love, strength, and selflessness. She had a profound spiritual connection with the Lord. She lived a life guided by her unwavering belief in God’s love and grace, even in dark times and trials. Gwen found peace, strength, and purpose through her relationship with the Lord and shared this devotion with those around her.

Gwen’s favorite radio station, 89.5 (89Q), gave her hope, guidance, and solace through many years, whether it was playing in her car or in her home. May Gwen’s memory continue to inspire us all to seek a deeper spiritual connection with the Lord.

Gwen is survived by her loving and devout husband Kenneth Schultz; beloved daughter, Lindsey (Joshua) Jensen; precious grandsons, Jackson and Jevrett Jensen; loving siblings Daniel (Diane) Hintz, Debra (Anton) Wiesman, Randall (Karin) Hintz, David (Tami) Hintz; brother-in-law, Donald G. Schultz; and many wonderful nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to very sincerely thank the staff at Marshfield Medical Center- Weston (St. Claire’s Hospital) for the unconditional love and care they so freely gave Gwen during her stay there. You truly were angels in her life, and words cannot express the depth of gratitude.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who have offered their support, love, and condolences during this difficult time. Your kindness has been a source of comfort. A private Catholic Christian Mass will be held at a later date, in accordance with Gwen’s wishes.

May Gwen rest in eternal peace and joy in the embrace of her Heavenly Father. She left a handwritten note in a drawer for family to find after her passing that read, “Don’t be sad for me, I am going to be with my Lord and Savior and my peace and joy will be immeasurable!”
