Marjorie E. Ackerman

Marjorie Emma (Ulrich) Ackerman, 90, went home to be with the Lord on Feb. 14, 2011, from the House of the Dove in Marshfield, after a 4½ year battle with kidney cancer. Her family is grateful to the staff and volunteers, as well as friends, relatives, neighbors, the community, and church support, for their assistance during her convalescence.

She was born Aug. 12, 1920, in Britton, S. D., to Alvin Ulrich and Olive Elizabeth Marjorie (Jester) Ackerman Ulrich of Wausau. When preceded in death by her parents, Marge was raised by her foster parents, Hattie and Ernest Lombard, and graduated from Wausau High School in 1938. She married Richard John Mittman Sr. on Dec. 25, 1938, and moved to Muscatine, Iowa. They owned and operated a family produce farm business called Mittman’s Market, which employed all five children: Richard John (Karolyn Koopman) Mittman Jr., both deceased; Larry George (Peg Meier) Mittman of Sunbury Ohio; Cheryl Sue Mittman (Wayne Haggin, deceased) of Lady Lake, Fla.; Thomas Neal Mittman of Indialantic, Fla.; and Joan Elizabeth Mittman (Chester Lewandowski) of Mount Iron, Minn.

After the children were raised, Marge worked as a Realtor for Culbert Realty, as an accountant for H&R Block, and as an enumerator for R.L. Polk City Directory.

After Richard’s death in February 1969, she later moved to Wisconsin, where she married Joseph Ackerman Sr. of Owen on January 8, 1972. She inherited all the Ackerman children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by natural grandchildren Randy (Paulette) Mittman, Kevin (Faith) Mittman, Brian (Kim) Campbell, Mark (Kristy) Campbell, Eric (Kym) Mittman, Amanda Mittman (Ed Dobos), Valerie Walker, and Kathy (Jason) Makkyla; 13 great-grandchildren; and significant other John Stock of Thorp.

She was preceded in death by her significant other, William Engel of Owen, and three Ackerman step-children.

Actively involved in the community until the age of 85, she was a librarian at the Owen Public Library, serving 25 years on the Library Board, and also served as the social director of the Owen Senior Center. As a bookkeeper-treasurer for 15 years and an active member of the United Church of Christ in Owen, as well as a volunteer at the Clark County Health Care Center, she is remembered for her acts of service with appreciation.

Her wit, wisdom, humor, generosity, consideration, and selflessness will be cherished and revered by all the people whose lives she touched.

A memorial service will be held at the United Church of Christ, located at the corner of Third and Oak streets in Owen, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2011. There will be an interment of ashes at Riverside Cemetery, Frenchtown Avenue, in Withee.
