Marshal "Lynn" Marone

Marshal Lynn Marone, Weston, passed away with his family by his side on Friday, January 28, 2022 just four days before his 90th birthday.

Lynn, as he liked to be called, was born on February 2, 1932 to Elmer and Mary Ruth Marone in Detroit, Michigan.  He grew up in Detroit and served in the Navy on the destroyer USS Hunt (DD-674) from 1951 to 1955 during the Korean War.  Lynn was trained in electronics in the Navy, which led to his working career as an electronics technician.

He married Caryl Katz on April 11, 1953 at Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Detroit, Michigan.  Together they raised three children.

Lynn was the patriarch of the Marone family and spent a lifetime enjoying hunting and fishing well into his 80’s, getting an 8-point buck just a few years ago.  He passed that passion on to his sons and grandchildren. Another one of Lynn’s passions was music.  He enjoyed many forms of music including singing in the church choir for many years, and after his retirement also sang for many years with the River Valley Harmonizers (The Barbershoppers). He kept bees, made maple syrup, was a member of the Rib Mountain Gem and Mineral Society, was involved in 4-H, enjoyed photography, and was a Detroit Tigers fan.

The family moved to the Town of Maine in Wisconsin in 1969 where they resided for many years. Many memories were made there, especially celebrations of birthdays and holidays.

Lynn is survived by his wife Caryl of 68 years, his daughter Barbara Wilcox, son Doug Marone (Perri Ducklow), and son David (Tammy) Marone.  He is also survived by his grandchildren Kathie (John) Hannie, Becky (Lucas) Olli, Lisa Marone, Michael Marone, Adam Marone, and Eric (Brittany) Marone.  He was blessed with great grandchildren Tressa and Tyler Feiner, Marshall and Mitchell Olli, and Ava and Elias Marone.

A celebration of his life will be held at Brainard Funeral Home in Weston, Wisconsin on Monday, February 7, 2022.  Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service officiated by Pastor Steven Grunwald at 11 a.m.
