Born in Jefferson, WI on December 11, 1921, she was the fifth child of Enos and Ottilia (Werner) Schroedl. She married Joseph A.

Her surviving siblings are Herbert, Dorothy (Vogel), Paul, Alice (Susie Hoffman) and Edward. Many people in Jefferson knew her from Schroedl's Country Meat Market where she worked for more than 60 years; she was an expert meat cutter and a friendly face behind the counter. Marion was famous for her pies and cookies. She whipped them together in the blink of an eye and welcomed visiting family members to her home with their favorite pie or cookies on the table. At one point, she was known in her neighborhood as "The Cookie Lady". Marion was also a great sports enthusiast. She loved to watch the Green Bay Packers and all the Wisconsin teams. Her family misses her deeply and will always hold her memory dear to their hearts.
