Marion H. Scheunemann (nee Kiekhaefer) age 92 of West Bend passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 at the Cottages at Cedar Run. She was born September 27, 1922 in the Town of Mequon to Arnold and Clara (nee Wessel) Kiekhaefer and married Wallace E. Scheunemann M.D. on September 6, 1947 at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mequon. Wallace preceded her in death on May 18, 1994.

Marion will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family and faith were the foundations of her life. Marion worked side by side with her life partner, Wallace, in establishing and supporting his ophthalmic medical practice in West Bend from 1953 through 1987.

Devoted to her family, Marion eagerly prioritized her time to be involved in the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She taught values by example, displaying compassion, kindness, warmth and humility. She instilled the importance of education, hard work and enjoyment of life.

Marion’s dedication extended into the West Bend community. She was a longtime volunteer with the Partners of St. Joseph’s Hospital and Our Savior’s Lutheran Church.

Marion was an avid golfer and bridge player, enjoying the competition, challenge and camaraderie. Her membership at West Bend Country Club brought her many hours of pleasure, playing her last round of golf at age 89. In addition to golfing Marion was steadfast in her YMCA workouts.

She is survived by her daughters Jean (Robert) Garlock of Memphis, TN, Mary (John) Rozek of West Bend and Kay (David) Eggert of Appleton, 10 grandchildren: Andrew (Patricia) Schacht, Matthew (fiancée Elizabeth) Schacht, Katharine (Timothy) Hannigan, Brian (Jennifer) Weis, Elizabeth (Matthew) Roe, Sarah (Jeffrey) Janz, Charles (Katie) Eggert, Emily (Adam) Olson, Peter (Katelyn) Eggert and Elizabeth Eggert, 4 step-grandchildren: Lisa (John) Degnitz, Bob Rozek, Ryan (Rachel) Garlock and Staci (fiancé Dan) Garlock, her great-grandchildren: Anna, Emily, Andrew, Madeline, Nathan, Zoe, Gabriel, Miriam, Nolan, Lena, Will, Jack and Henry and her step-great-grandson Mason. She is further survived by her sister-in-law Ellen Doyle and nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
