Harriman, Carol E. “Fuzzy” (11 January 1937 – 21 July 2024)

Carol E. “Fuzzy” Harriman, age 87, passed away on Sunday July 21, 2024, at the Marshfield Care Center with her son, Thomas, at her bedside.

Carol was born at home in Lindsey, on January 11, 1937, to Edward and Viola (Bodendorfer) Nelson, and she went to school in the Marshfield area.

She was united in marriage to Corliss (Corky) Harriman on March 12, 1955, in Granton. Together they brought 3 wonderful sons into this world. Later in life, Corliss and Carol divorced. Together they still raised their 3 sons. Corliss later passed away. These boys were Carol’s pride and joy. As her proud sons would say, “there isn’t one thing our mother would not do for the 3 of us.”

Carol was employed at many different jobs through her time with us. Her last job was at the Marshfield Care Center, in which she worked for 25 years as a CNA and later retired from there. When Carol no longer could stay at home, she knew she wanted to go the Care Center in Marshfield. As she would say,” I have to take care of these people, I am here for a reason.” She was always a mother hen to all, and of course a little stubborn and bull headed; you would call it the typical Norwegian trait. Overall, she was the most caring person you can come across. She loved all her family. Family was everything to her.

She is survived by her children, Gary (Special Friend-Robyn), Thomas (Jody), and Richard (Janice) all of Marshfield. She leaves behind six grandchildren, Brooke (Chris) Pflughoeft, Tiffany Barnes, Tommy (Heather) Harriman, Sara (Cory) Strasser, Erin, and Mark (Chelsie) Harriman. Carol also leaves behind eleven great grandchildren, Mckenzie and Shania Pflughoeft, Kaylee and Corey Barnes, Jordyn and Little Tommy Harriman, Chloe and Sarina Strasser, Tyrone, Aryena, and Liam Harriman. Two very close friends also known as family, Paul and Lucy Hobeck. God-children, Dennis Vanderhoof, Annette Vanderhoof, and Dawn Johnson. Three step-grandchildren, Michelle (Brian) Roberts, Becky Scipior, David (Janal) Sabatke; and six step great-grandchildren, Cameron and Kiki Roberts, Tayler and Blake Scipior, and Abigail and Trace Sabatke.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Viola; grandson, Adam Harriman; granddaughter, Kristina Harriman; and all of her siblings, Jerold, Ruby, Audrey, Nila, and Pete, one very special God-daughter, Penny Kampin.

Special thanks to Heartland Hospice, especially Miranda (Nurse) and Marshfield Health Services for the cares they provided to Carol through her stay with them.

The visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and the Service will follow at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at Hansen-Schilling Funeral Home, Marshfield. Pastor Brian Roberts will officiate. Pallbearers will be Mark and Tommy Harriman, Cory Strasser, Dennis and Norm Vanderhoff, and Mike Schroeder. Honorary Pallbearers will be Tiffany Barnes, Sara Strasser, Erin Harriman, Brooke Pflughoeft, Annette Vanderhoff, and Dawn Johnson.

Also a special thanks to her family, Gary (Robyn), Thomas (Jody), and Richard (Janice) for their special cares given and provided to Carol when she needed it the most. Fuzzy will never be forgotten, Forever in our Hearts.

Zorman, Theresa Jane (24 September 1931 – 23 July 2024)

Theresa J. Zorman, age 92, of Greenwood, passed away on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at Lake Hallie Memory Care in Chippewa Falls.

Theresa Jane Krapf was born September 24, 1931, in Waukegan, IL to Charles Krapf, Sr. and Jennie (Koschak) Krapf. When she was two years old, they moved to the town of Mead, rural Greenwood, to 80 acres of woods and rocks. She graduated from Greenwood High School in 1949, attended River Falls State College, and through many night schools and summer sessions, earned her bachelor’s degree from Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire (now UW-Eau Claire). She met Edward Zorman at a polka dance at Willard when he asked her to dance. They knew Frankie Yankovich personally and attended many of his dances. She and Eddie were married on November 22, 1956, at Holy Family Catholic Church, Willard. They lived in Loyal for 20 years before building a home just outside of Greenwood where they raised their two daughters, Ann Marie "Mitzi" and Diane Lea.

Theresa taught at rural Greenwood and Willard schools, and after 33 years at the Loyal Elementary School, she retired in 1994. In 1996, she sold her Greenwood country home and moved to Onalaska. She attended all her grandchildren’s games, plays, concerts, meets and recitals. She also volunteered at their schools, at Gundersen Hospital and at St. Patrick’s Church. Theresa transferred to the Onalaska American Legion Auxiliary #336. She moved back to the city of Greenwood in 2014, where she belonged to the American Legion Auxiliary Post #238 and served as chaplain and treasurer. She was a member of the Wisconsin Retired Educators, the Tri-County Retired Educators, the Loyal Red Hats, St. Mary’s Council of Catholic Women and served a term as president. She truly enjoyed her fish-fry cronies, Joan, Margaret, Dorothy, Caroline, Judy, Avis and Kay! She was very proud of her Slovenian heritage and belonged to the KSKJ Lodge, the Slovenian Union of America, and the Slovenska Druzba Club. Theresa traveled to Slovenia two times and corresponded with relatives there. She also made a pilgrimage to Međugorje.

She loved to knit and sew, and made hundreds of rag dolls, dressing them in pink or blue bonnets and diapers for siblings of newborns at Gundersen Hospital. She also made caps for those who had lost their hair. Theresa knitted stocking caps for veterans in military hospitals and made countless caps and scarves for the homeless. She also had a hobby of card-making and gave them away to friends and family. Theresa, and her good friend Betty Schmidt, shared many, many days doing cards and “solving the world’s problems!” She very much loved cats and had a favorite Siamese companion, Punkin, and later, Whiskey, who both brought her a lot of joy.

She is survived by her daughters: Mitzi (John) Rhude of Arcadia and Diane (John) Christophersen of Eau Claire; her grandchildren: Tyler Burrows, Kaylee (Terrel) Jacquet, Ciara Burrows, Abigail Oldenberg, Shanna (Cory Onsrud), Codey (Abby) and Blake Rhude, and Michael (Sarah) Christophersen; five great-grandchildren: Aurora Marie, Callen Roger, Selia Rose, Haven Michele and Charlotte Mae; her sister Elizabeth (Duane) Patridge; sister-in-law: Gale Zorman; many cousins, nieces and nephews, and her godchildren: Karen Roach, Kristine Bleibaum, Rochelle Skorlinski, and Daniel Patridge.

She was predeceased by her husband Edward, on January 14, 1994; her parents; her brother, Charles Jr.; sister-in-law, Eileen Krapf; her in-laws, Louis and Jennie Zorman; brothers-in-law, Albert and Rudy Zorman; sister-in-law, Roberta Zorman; and nephew, Rick Zorman.

Theresa was truly a kind and generous soul and touched the lives of so many students, colleagues, relatives and friends. She will forever be dearly missed. Her daughters would like to thank Heartland Hospice and the staff at Lake Hallie Memory Care for the care and comfort they provided.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 29, 2024, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Greenwood. Rev.
