Marjorie M. Thede

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am.

Marjorie fell asleep peacefully in her own home, and woke up in the arms of Jesus, on October, 19 2021 at the age of 93.  She was born by God’s grace to parents,  August and Catherine (Van Dyke) Meulemans on May 26, 1928, in Kaukauna.  On January 29, 1949, she married LeRoy A. Thede at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Shiocton. They spent sixty-six wonderful years together, and were blessed with four children.  LeRoy preceded her in death in 2015.

Having a servant’s heart, her various occupations and hobbies often found her in a place caring for others. Her greatest passion was for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and in her later days spoke fondly of going to be with Him.

“Marge” is lovingly survived by four children: Vicki (Tom) Griffin of Maple Grove, Minnesota; Bruce (Faye) Thede of Appleton; Bryan (Sharon) Thede of Appleton; and Shari (Troy) Graham of Appleton; twelve grandchildren: Brad (Carrie) Thede, Stacie (Jason) Nagorski, Sara (Ethan) Capers, Sandy (Todd) Secor, Victoria Duciaume, Brittney, Zachary, and Courtney Thede, Andrew, Shannon (Jared) Stuebs, Connor (fiancee Jennifer), and Caitlyn Graham; and fourteen great-grandchildren: Lincoln, Jackson, Anna Sophia, Brook, Allen, Kenjin, Hunter, Scarlett, Levi, Nevaeh, her “Lil Buddy” Ezekiel, Cooper, Carson, and Addilyn. She is also survived by her sister Ila Mae “Toots” Hawley of Mackville; and a special niece: Luann Hopkins. Her in-laws are Annie Meulemans of Black Creek; Norman (Eloise) Thede of Stoughton; Susan Thede of Gillette,Wyoming; Wendell (Pam) Thede of Shiocton; Betty Rogne of Manitowoc; Colin (Diane) Thede of Shawano; Albert Kassel of Scotts Mills Oregon; Frederick Luetschwager of Appleton; John Luetschwager of Ringle; Audrey Thede of Black Creek;  and many nieces and nephews.
