Marilyn Hastert Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Marilyn worked as a caring nurse in Platteville for 45 years, even taking on a teaching role at Southwest Tech for a few of those years. Marilyn's enjoyment of bowling led her to Don and their happy marriage. She and Don took pleasure in cheering together for the Badgers, Packers, and Brewers. Marilyn was also delighted to meet new friends and appreciated an occasional trip to the casino. After a long day, she relished relaxing with a good book and a bowl of popcorn. Marilyn's most joyful moments, though, were those spent at the many memorable family gatherings she loved to host.
Marilyn is survived by her children Tom (Amy) Shilliam, Lauri (Eric) LaVoy, Angie (Steve) Scharnell, and Amy (Tim) Hansmann; her grandchildren Briar (Maddi) Shilliam, Jon and Sarah Scharnell, and Nick Hansmann; and her sisters, Patricia (Bob) Weier, Janice (Doug) Steinback, Nancy (Wayne) Steger, Barbara Margan, Karen (Al) Wagner and Lisa (Tim) Peacock; brothers, David Margan and Richard (Sandy) Margan; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husbands and parents.
Funeral services will be at Noon, Friday, May 2, 2025 at the Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville. Pastor Mary Ann Floerke will officiate. Burial will be at Hillside Cemetery, Platteville. Visitation will be from 10:00 AM until the time of the service. The Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville, is serving the family. Online condolences can be made at www.melbyfh.com.
Marilyn's family would like to express their gratitude to the St. Croix hospice team and the staff at Our House Senior Living, in Platteville, for their amazing care.
