Marjorie L. Auck

Marjorie L. Auck, 93, died Thursday, September 11, 2025.

She was born in Bucyrus on April 2, 1932, the youngest of nine children, to the late Charles H. and Liddie L. (Barth) Bardon. She graduated from Wyandot High School in 1950 and married Charles F. Auck on July 2, 1950. Charles preceded her in death in 2023.

Marge was a diligent worker and entrepreneur. After working for TenEyck Florist, Foulk Drug, and Drs. Teynor and Waite, she was the owner/operator of the Rustic Inn Restaurant. After retiring, she worked with Gebhardt Auctions and she also was a successful Avon Lady for many years. In addition to work, Marjorie was a Den Mother for Cub Scout Pack 44, a member of the former Epworth UMC, and an avid bowler. She was secretary of the Bucyrus Women's Bowling Association, state officer in the Ohio Women's Bowling Association, and past champion of the Bucyrus Women’s Invitational.

Marge will be remembered for her quick wit and sharp tongue. She enjoyed supporting her grandchildren at their games or events and never missed her hair appointment every Thursday. At home, many crosswords were solved and jigsaw puzzles put together. She was very lucky at scratching off winning lotto tickets and also collected coins, kept the squirrels fed, and enjoyed the company of her pet cat.

Marjorie is survived by daughters, Deborah (Alva) Wadkins and Linda (Glenn) Grubb; daughter-in-law, Marilyn Auck; grandchildren, Cresha (Todd) Louks, Michelle (Chad) Zeigler, Missy (Kip) Combs, Amy Williams, Todd (Nicole) Moore, Kristi Sullivan, Jeremiah Wadkins, Adam (Karen) Wadkins, Rosie Sponseller, Sheila (John) Hart, and Chrissy (Dan) Sauer; 20 great grandchildren; 13 great-great grandchildren; and 2 great-great-great grandchildren.

In addition to her parents and husband of 73 years, Marjorie was preceded in death by son, Gary Auck; granddaughter, Robin Johnson; and eight siblings, Maybelle Haraway, Floidie Bowers, Harold Bardon, Pauline Holwager, Evelyn Wolbert, Donald Bardon, Naomi Edgington, and Barbara Riedlinger.
