Marion G. Resch

Marion Gertrude (Jozwiak) Resch went home to her heavenly Father on Oct. 24, 2019, at Pride TLC, under the comfort care of Ministry Hospice, with family and loved ones by her side.

She was born July 26, 1937, in Hatley to the late John Sr. and Gertrude (Pestka) Jozwiak. She graduated from Birnamwood High School in 1955. Marion married her soul mate, Jerome “Jiggs” Resch, on Jan. 19, 1957, in Hatley. He preceded her in death July 26, 2019.

Marion was a devoted wife and mother. Marion was most often found in the kitchen baking treats and meals, offering comfort to her friends and family.
When she was not at home, she was volunteering at town hall and at St. Philomena’s Parish as an active member of the Christian Mothers Alter Society. She was a strong woman whose devotion to the Lord was fierce.
Marion enjoyed time at her Pelican Lake cabin where she and Jiggs would go boating and fishing and enjoy their children and grandchildren. She spent much time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; one could argue that was her favorite hobby. She also loved spending time gardening, watching the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers and, of course, bowling.

Survivors also include her children, Mike (Sue) Resch, of Richmond, Virginia, Pamela Walkowski, of Birnamwood, Patrick Resch (special friend Julie), of Duluth, Minnesota, and Tamara Resch (special friend Paul), of Green Bay; her grandchildren, Nicole and Amanda Resch, Cory and Ryan Walkowski, Collin and Kyle Resch, Kristin (Sean) Finn, Kayla (Craig) Harrington and Morgan Weiss; her great-grandchildren, Lucas, Oliver, Azlea and Conor; and her sister, Patricia (Thomas) Brounacker. Marion is also survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one son, James “Jimmy” Resch; three sisters, Loretta Ostrowski, Geraldine Falkowski and Christine Carlson; and one brother, John Jozwiak Jr.

A Mass will be held Nov. 9 at St. Philomena’s Catholic Church in Birnamwood at noon with the Rev. Vincente Llagas officiating. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until noon.
