Marvin A. Wissmann, 81, of the Town of Pella, Shawano County, passed away at his home Saturday afternoon, Dec. 23, 2017.
Marvin was born July 27, 1936, on the Wissmann home farm in the Town of Pella. He was the son of the late Emil and Anna (Krueger) Wissmann. Marvin drove milk truck for Oak Grove Cheese Factory in Pella for 15 years while farming the home farm. Marvin was united in marriage to Rhonda Graper on Sept. 6, 1964, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Leopolis. Rhonda preceded her husband in death on July 24, 2009. Marvin was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Pella, where he, at one time, served on the cemetery committee. Marvin enjoyed woodworking, working with antique metal, loved to hunt, and looked forward to fishing and spearing mulleys and red horse on the Embarrass River. He was a “jack of all trades” and had the gift of gab.
