Ampe, Marlene (Marriage – 10 July 1976)

Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Susa were married Saturday, July 10, in a 12:30 p.m. Nuptial Mass celebrated at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Loyal, by the Rev. Chester Osowski. A dinner at the church and a reception and dance at the KC hall followed the ceremony.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ampe of Rt. 1 Loyal, and Mr. and mrs. Robert Susa of rural Greenwood presented their children in marriage.

The bride, the former Miss Marlene Ampe, appeared in a white knit princess-style gown fashioned with full-length lace sleeves, a scoop neckline and a long train. Her bouquet included red roses, white carnations and lilies-of-the-valley.

Mrs. Kathleen Jasurda, Loyal, was the matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Kathy Northup of Greenwood, Miss Karen Ampe of Loyal and Mrs. Judy Thomas of Green wood. Their lime green gowns with coordinated dotted jackets featured lace trim matching the bridal gown lace. They carried baskets of lavender roses and yellow carnations with lilies-of-the-valley and fern greenery.

James Caliebe, Minneapolis, Mn., acted as bestman, with Ronald Ampe of Colorado Springs, Co., Tom Susa of West Bend and Everett Thomas of Greenwood as groomsmen. Ushering duties were shared by Paul Ampe of Kenosha and Charles Butterbrodt of Loyal.

Guitar music was played by the bride’s cousins, Laurie Aumann and Sandy Miller. Patty Martin was the soloist.

The bride was honored at prenuptial showers given by Mrs. Leona Aumann and Karen Ampe and by Mrs. Judy Thomas and Mrs. Dela Susa.

The new Mrs. Susa s a 1971 graduate of Loyal High School and a 1972 clerk-typist graduate of North Technical School, Wausau. She is employed as a key punch operator by a Marshfield firm.
