    • Age 90, passed away Sunday, December 14, 2003 at the St. Paul Home. Marie was born in Little Chute on February 22, 1913, daughter of the late Mathias and Mary (Williamsen) Driessen. On May 17, 1947, she married Elmer Van Den Heuvel at St. John Catholic Church in Little Chute; he preceded her in death on December 7, 1996. Marie worked at Bastian’s Dime Store and later as an assistant cook at the Kaukauna High School. She was an avid golfer, a gifted seamstress, and a frequent volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul and the Kaukauna Community Hospital Auxiliary. A longtime and faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church, she served on the Altar Society, volunteered as a communion distributor, and made hundreds of baptismal gowns over the years.
