Glenn Carl Feifarek, endearing husband to Aurie Feifarek and loving father to Sara Jane of Marinette, WI and Mark of Random Lake, Wis., passed away April 19th, 2017, at Bay Area Medical Center of Marinette, WI after a short illness. He was born November 22nd, 1924, on his maternal grandparents family farm in Lena, Wis., to the late Adolph and Minnie Feifarek.
Glenn graduated from Peshtigo High School and from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, majoring in Accounting. He was a member of the honorary accounting fraternity, Beta Alpha Psi, and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
In 1950, after they both graduated from the University, he married his college sweetheart, Auralia Buscher, at “Press House,” the University Presbyterian Church.
Glenn’s first job took them to the Studebaker Corporation, in South Bend, Ind. Three years later, he served as comptroller for Lewis Container Corporation in Colby, Wis., and later Wausau, Wis. This company merged to become Packaging Corporation of America, which precipitated his being transferred to the home office as Manager of Administrative Systems, Evanston, Ill.
Throughout Glenn’s life, he had been actively engaged in supporting his community. While in Wausau, he served on the Girl Scouts Board of Directors, receiving their highest “Thanks” award for revising their accounting system.
In Illinois he served as Elder, Trustee, Deacon and Financial Secretary for the Community Presbyterian Church. For the past 20 years he had served as the Treasurer of the Marinette Lions Club, playing an integral role in developing their Annual Sports Dinner. In recognition for his dedication to humanitarian services, he received the Melvin Jones Fellowship award, which is granted by Lions International, and from the State Lions he received the Birch Sturm Fellowship award. As a member of the Pioneer Presbyterian Church, he had served on the Finance Committee. Glenn was a kind and gentle man with a strong faith in God, a great sense of humor, a sharp mind (a Suduko or crossword puzzle was usually in his jacket pocket), he enjoyed the company of others and he enjoyed music of all genres.
Along with Glenn’s immediate family, Auralia Feifarek;
daughter Sara Jane of Marinette, WI;
Mark of Random Lake, WI;
his grandson Mark Jr. of San Antonio, Texas;
his granddaughter Lia of Chicago, Ill.;
two great-grandsons: Marquise and Malachi of Chicago, Ill.;
his niece Ann Buscher of Marinette, WI;
nephew John Buscher of Menominee, MI;
and his cousin James Feifarek of Madison, Wis.
He is further survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and three brothers: Myron James {7/13/1918-1/3/1997], Adolph Jr. “Duff,” James and Kenneth.
The celebration of Glenn’s life will be held Wednesday, April 26th, 2017, at Pioneer Presbyterian Church, 1947 Riverside Ave., Marinette. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until Noon, followed by the Memorial Service with Rev. Jon Nelson officiating.
