After beating breast cancer on two occasions, Marily Ann Krueger (nee Kutz) passed away very peacefully in the late evening hours of Monday, March 10, 2014, at the age of 67, at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida following a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer with Gerald (Jerry) Krueger, her devoted husband of nearly 45 years, at her side. Born to Harlow and Ruth Kutz (nee Guetzlaff) in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin on June 14th 1946, Marily attended St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church and School followed by Lakeside Lutheran (Class of 1964) in Lake Mills, Wis., before Milwaukee Lutheran Teachers College in Milwaukee, Wis. and then Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN. Following graduation she began her lifelong work of serving her Lord by sharing his love with children in the teaching ministry. She taught at several schools, including St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran School in Waterloo, Wis. for 25 years and 10 years at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran School in Beverly Hills, Fla. She retired from her divine call in the summer of 2011. Jerry proposed marriage one short month after meeting Marily during Thanksgiving in 1968. They were wed on August 16th, 1969 and were blessed with three children Lisa (Russell DeGidio), Chad (Paula) and Alan (Jennifer). One of her greatest joys was spending time with her eight grandchildren: Ben and Noah (sons of Lisa and Russ); Colin, Eli and Dylan (sons of Chad and Paula); Justin, Kate and Greta (children of Al and Jennifer). Marily is survived by the above family, as well as her older sister Ellen Krueger of Cape Coral, Fla., sister-in-law Beverly Farnsworth of Lake Mills, Wis. and several cousins, nieces and nephews. Marily’s visitation (3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.) and memorial celebration service (4:00 p.m.) will take place on Sunday, March 16th at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church at 6150 North Lecanto Hwy, Beverly Hills, Fla. 34465. For family and friends located in Wisconsin, a memorial celebration service will take place at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Waterloo, Wisconsin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 14th, which is also her birthday. As the spouse of a Vietnam Era Veteran, her final resting place will be Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. The family asks that memorials be contributed to St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran School in Beverly Hills, Fla. or Lakeside Lutheran High School in Lake Mills, Wis. in her name.
