Opal Marshall Obituary
Our Merciful Savior called Opal to her eternal home on Tuesday, October 16, 2012, after a courageous struggle with a rare blood condition. Opal was born into this life on September 19, 1925, the youngest daughter of Herman and Hulda Zuehls of Princeton. Opal enjoyed a long career as a clerk in a number of area clothing stores. She had been a fixture for many years at Edith's of Fond du Lac, Seifert's, and Berger's in the Forest Mall.
Opal's primary focus in life was her family. On May 2, 1953, she married her partner for life, Theodore "Ted" J. Marshall. Together they enjoyed a shared passion for music, traveling, and raising their two sons, Brian (Kris) of Fond du Lac; and Nolan (Laurraine) of Largo, FL. Opal loved children and enjoyed all her grandchildren, Mike (Tammy) of Green Bay; Scott (special friend Megan) of Fond du Lac; Laura (fiance, Jake Neitzel) of Fond du Lac; Tiffani Blasi of St. Petersburg, FL; Theodore "JC" of Tallahassee, FL; Kathryn "Alyssa" Marshall of Largo, FL; Victoria Marshall of Largo, FL; great-granddaughter, Kendall Marshall. Surviving members of Opal's family are sisters, Margaret (Fred) Zanto of Princeton; Ruth (Norman) Krueger of Princeton; one brother, Norbert of Markesan. She was preceded to eternal life by her husband, Ted on January 8, 1996; brothers, Arthur, Arnold, and her infant sister, Edna Zuehls, and her sister, Leona Arndt, and her daughter-in-law, Joan (Schmitz) Marshall.
