Marilyn Yahnke Obituary
Marilyn (Robinson) Yahnke, 86, of Pardeeville, Wis., with her family by her side, peacefully returned home to be with her Lord Savior on Thursday, June 19, 2025. Marilyn was ready to once again see her beloved husband, Roger; mother, Ruth; father, Fred; and grandson, Andrew.
Marilyn's greatest joy was her family and her faith in the Lord. She was gentle and kind and she showed us that life's blessing was simply to love.
In her final days, surrounded by family, you could see what a special bond she built with each and every one of them. She lived her life building a life of love, family and faith with her husband whom she loved dearly and had 63 wonderful years of marriage.
Marilyn is survived by her daughter, Cheryl Yahnke; son, Brian (Ann) Yahnke; and daughter, Lori (Steve) Swanson; grandchildren, Tom (Lindsey), Jessica (Jason), Brandon (Stefanie), Joshua (Amber), Dustin (Krista), Megan (Shane), Angela (Ryan), and Paige (Hollie); 15 great-grandchildren; sister, Elaine; sister-in-law, Pearl; nieces; nephews; cousins and many dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Roger; grandson, Andrew Skupniewitz; brother-in-law, Ross Yahnke; brother-in-law, Billy Schultz; parents; Fred and Ruth Robinson; brother, Richard; and in-laws: John and Clara Yahnke.
