Continue ReadingMarian Elaine Krause Hooyman, a spirited, hard-working and caring wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed on at Meadow Wood Assisted Living, Seymour WI at the age of 93.
Marian was born May 9, 1921 to Ella (Koske) and Rudolph Krause in Oconto Falls, WI. She attended Appleton High School and went on to work at Zwicker's Knitting Mill, Pranges, Zaug's Catering and Freedom Elementary School as a teacher's aide until her retirement. She married Herbert Hooyman in 1941 and they settled in Freedom to spend many happy, productive years on the farm raising their family.
After they retired, Marian and Herb spent winters in Florida, where she enjoyed swimming and participating in the community events. She and Herb also traveled to visit their children in California, Tennessee and Arizona.
Marian was a master seamstress and enjoyed making and mending clothing for her family. In her free time, she liked to tend her plants and watch the Packers. A well-known card shark, she couldn't say no to a game of cribbage. Her jokes around the hand-and-foot table brought many hoots of laughter from her partners and opponents. She also loved to read, both fiction and news, and was always ready to engage in discussion of current events which she obtained from the internet.
In 2005, she published a book of memoirs which included a Krause and Hooyman family history, as well as, her observations about life in the twentieth century. Marian's heart was always with her family foremost, and she will remain in their hearts always.
Marian is survived by her children, Jim (Rose) of Sun Lakes, AZ., Tom (Judy) of Freedom, David of Tucson, AZ; Dennis (Debra) of Silverton, ID,; Gary (Mary) of Westfield; Debra (Robert) Valentine of Freedom; and Richard (Kerri) of Neenah; her sister-in-law Shirley Krause, Appleton. Herb's sister and brothers, Alice Much, Appleton; Ervin (Judy) Hooyman, Green Bay; George (Donna) Hooyman, Goleta, CA; sister-in-law Leora Hooyman, as well as 20 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Herb in 1998, her parents Ella and Rudolph Krause, her brother Ralph Krause, Herb's parents, Anna (Murphy) and Herman Hooyman, three granddaughters MaryAnn, Becca and Kimberly Hooyman, brothers and sisters-in-law, Kenneth (Bertha) Hooyman, Ethel (Leo) Stephani, Gerald Hooyman, Lorraine (Bernie) Weiland, Edward (Betty) Hooyman and Nyle Much.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday September 27, 2014 at Fargo Funeral Home in Kaukauna at 11:00 am. There will be a visitation from 9:00 to 11:00 at the funeral home on Saturday. Interment at St. Nicholas Cemetery in Freedom. For more information and to express condolences, please visit www.wichmannfargo.com.

My deepest sympathy to the Hooyman family. Marian and Herb were great neighbors when I lived in Freedom and on the farm. I have known them for many years and they always treated me with great respect and kindness. I will miss her e-mails and quick wit on all topics You were very fortunate to have your Mother as long as you did. I am sure she will join Herb in heaven and remain in your hearts forever as they will in mine.

My sincere sympathy to our Hooyman cousins. Aunt Marian's quick wit and fiesty personality made me always look forward to seeing her at family events. I fondly remember the many Hooyman get togethers with kids running around and Marian and the rest of the adults (except for Uncles Bernie and Nyle) in the middle of a card game. Always serious about the game but laughing. Our dad, Leo, and Vi, always talked about the fun they had with Marian and Herb in Florida. What a wonderful woman..
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

My sympathy to my Hooyman cousins. You were fortunate to have you Mother as long as you did. I always enjoyed her humor and quick wit on any topic. The last time I saw Aunt Marion she was out to eat with Debbie and family at the Glass Nickel Pizza. I was amazed by her alert and quick humored attitude for a woman in her 90's. However the best for me was when they were getting ready to leave, she was up on her own and the leader of the pack walking out of the restaurant. Great attitude and spunk, I hope my Dad is ready to have his spunky sister back in his life.
