Marion Zillmer
Marion V. Zillmer, 79, of Osseo, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 23, 2016 at the Pine View Care Center in Black River Falls.
Marion Virginia Zillmer, daughter of Oluf and Elva (Fleckinger) Johnson, was born Feb. 26, 1937 in Osseo. She was raised in Osseo where she was baptized, confirmed and married at Osseo Lutheran Church, attended grade school and graduated from Osseo High School in 1955. While roller skating at the rink in Osseo she met Alvin Zillmer of Augusta, and the two eventually married on Nov. 13, 1956. The couple lived a few years in Wauwatosa before moving to Milwaukee, where they lived 17 years, and then to Brookfield in the late 1970s. In 1986 they moved to their home on Lake Eau Claire just north of Augusta, and in 1991 moved to their present home in Osseo.
Marion loved her role as housewife, mother and homemaker. She enjoyed her time living on the lake, driving her convertibles and seeking out antiques. She was also an avid golfer and she and Al spent many enjoyable hours together on the various courses.
