Marjorie M. Manecke, 86, Edgar died peacefully at her home with family by her side on Monday, May 24, 2021. She was born to Eugene and Anna Podevels on July 16, 1934 and was the youngest of four children. On August 28, 1954 she married Orville Manecke and started a family. During her lifetime she worked at the Wausau Public Library, provided childcare services to a neighbor, worked in the ginseng fields, worked for Figi's and Fiskar's, cleaned the church, and worked part time for Marathon Cheese when she retired in 2009. Her greatest accomplishment was caring for her husband and twelve children. In her free time she could be found making quilts, completing jigsaw puzzles, playing Canasta, and working on her vegetable and flower gardens. One of our fondest memories as their children is how Orville and Marjorie elegantly glided across the dance floors when dancing the polka at weddings. She was a true Proverbs 31 wife and woman! She is survived by eleven of her children: Randy (Barb) Manecke, Kronenwetter; Sandra Herring, Wausau; Steve (Cindy), Wausau; Bonnie (Ken) Leitermann, Tomahawk; Nancy (Jerry) Jagmin, Tomahawk; Lori (Al) Nowak, Edgar; Patricia (Vernon) Matushak, Rib Mountain; Karen (Aimee) Elliot, Wausau; Diane (Brian) Hall, Mosinee; David (Denise) Manecke, Athens; Tim Manecke, Colby; and one sister Marie Dahlke, Colby.
