Marie Heuer's Obituary
Marie Sylvia Heuer, (Grandma Ree), age 104, of Port Edwards, WI, formerly of Wild Rose, WI, passed quietly on September 2, 2012. Marie was born June 14, 1908 in Wautoma Township, Wisconsin, to Henry Olaus Thompson and Maud C. (Selsing) Thompson, the fifth of seven children. On May 14, 1930, she married Edwin H. Heuer in Waushara County, Wisconsin. She worked as a one-room schoolhouse teacher before assisting Edwin in the family meat market business in Wild Rose, Wisconsin. She served as ward clerk at the Wild Rose Community Hospital from 1954-1979, and continued to work there part-time for several years after that. She was an active member of the Wild Rose United Methodist Church ladies circle. Marie loved to cook, crochet, embroider, play organ, and work in her flower gardens. Her favorite expression was… Always eat dessert first - just in case.
