Sternitzky, Margie (23 MAR 1930 – 15 AUG 2015)

Margie Sternitzky, age 85, of Marshfield, died Saturday August 15, 2015 at Golden Living Center, Three Oaks, Marshfield. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30 pm Sunday, August 23, 2015 at Zion Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod), W2880 Granton Road, Granton. Visitation will be held from 1:00 pm until the time of service at the Church on Sunday. Interment will be in the Church cemetery in Granton, Wisconsin.

Margie was born March 23, 1930 at the family farm in rural Marshfield, daughter of the late William and Elsie (Krasselt) Luchterhand. On May 31, 1952 she married Delmar Sternitzky at Grace Lutheran Church in Nasonville, WI. He preceded her in death.

She attended and graduated from Lone Elm Grade School and Marshfield High School. Margie lived on a farm southwest of Spencer, WI for 25 years where she helped her husband and raised four children. They retired in Spencer where she worked at Land O'Lakes for 20 years, retiring in 1997.

Margie was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Visitors were always welcomed in their home with a smile and a great meal. She was the caregiver of many and thought of the needs of others rather than her own. Her green thumb was evident with her beautiful flower beds and garden. Margie's loving heart was obvious to her family and extended to her pets and farm animals. Her strength was shown in battling Alzheimer's for years, but she loved company and looking at pictures from the past. Mom made you feel welcome despite her battle with this heartbreaking disease. Faith in God was important to Mom and we know that she's in Heaven with our Dad and other family members.

She is survived by her children; Jerry (Kathy) Sternitzky, Terry Sternitzky, Diane (Tony) Wolf and Larry (Tammy) Sternitzky, her grandchildren; Angela (Brian) Ness, Nick and Eric Sternitzky, Ryan (Cassie) Sternitzky, Meg and Isaac Sternitzky, Dustin Wolf and Tonja Wolf (Jason) and Samantha, Ben and Evan Sternitzky, great grandchildren; Brekken Sternitzky and Wesley McDonald and a step-sister, Jeanette.

Margie was preceded in death by her parents, husband, stepmother; Lucille and brother; Norman (Ione) Luchterhand.
