Marie Evelyn Noeldner was born on Aug. 2, 1935, on the family farm, rural Loyal, the daughter of Norbert E. and Rosaline E. (nee Frei) Noeldner. She was raised on the farm and received her education in Loyal area schools, graduating from Loyal High School in 1953. After high school, Marie worked as a waitress at the Loyal Cafe before her marriage to Raymond L. Oestreich on Sept. 11, 1954, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loyal. In addition to helping her husband on the farm, Marie worked at Land O’ Lakes in Spencer from 1972 until her retirement in 1998. After retiring, she was a volunteer driver for Clark County and for the Amish. She had many interests, but especially loved bowling for many years in the women’s league and the mixed couples league at the Loyal Bowling Alley, raising flowers, baking, where she made many cakes and cookies, and traveling, taking many trips by bus and train. Marie was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where she taught Sunday School, sang in the choir for many years, and was active in the TLCW.

She is survived by her husband, Raymond, of Marshfield; one daughter: Rhonda (Ed) Bauer of Greenwood; three grandchildren: Eric (Tracy) Bauer of Loyal, Cara Prior of Neillsville, and Blake (Dani) Bauer of Spencer; four great-grandchildren: Jace, Laila, Jaxton, and Lydia; three sisters: Joan Newberry, Jeanette (Gary) Oswald, and Carolyn (Archie Jr.) Vanderhoof, all of Marshfield; two brothers: Larry (Barb) Noeldner of Marshfield and Duane Noeldner of Loyal; and several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
