Listen to Obituary
Marion J. Schoepp, 93, Green Bay, transcended to her heavenly home on
Monday, March 27
, 2023 where she is reunited with her beloved family and already singing in the angelic choir. Marion was born
August 21
, 1929 in Green Bay to Milton and Pearl (Tuyls) Davis. Marion graduated from Green Bay West High School with the class of 1947. She married Mathias (Matt) Schoepp on
September 8
, 1951 at Annunciation Catholic Church in Green Bay.
Music was her life. Marion played piano and began singing at the age of 5 and trained with the famed Lucille Meusel. Singing became a lifelong passion. She had a remarkable coloratura soprano voice, winning many competitions as a soloist in her younger years. Marion continued to sing in the Green Bay community chorus' as they evolved with different directors over the years, the earliest under director Russ Widoe. During the later part of her life, she joined the Chantelles and sang with them for many enjoyable years.
Marion was employed in the offices of Procter and Gamble for over 20 years. She enjoyed camping, square dancing with the Whirlaways and traveling, spending winter months in Florida, Arizona, and Texas. She was also a volunteer at Unity Hospice for over 25 years. She had a compassionate nature wanting to help those needing end of life care.
Marion kept a strong faith in our Lord who sustained her throughout her life. She will be extremely missed by all those whose lives she has touched. Marion had a special bond with her sister Carole. You could often find them giggling and talking over a delicious lunch at numerous local restaurants on a weekly basis. Coffee was always involved!
She is survived by her beloved husband of 71 years, Mathias "Matt"; children, Diane (Dan) Bastien, Ellen Leamons, Patricia Bartel, Tom (friend Linda) Schoepp; grandchildren, Dawn (Mark) Pierce, Dena Platten, Kevin Bartel, Steven Bartel; great grandchildren Bryan, Emma, Noah, Brooke, Camden, Loki, Lucian; sister, Carole (Norel) Schaut, sister-in-law, Rita (Dan) Duben; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
