- Marion Anna Kaphingst, age 77, formerly of Park Street in Kaukauna, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, July 26, 2004 at Colony Oaks Care Center. She was born on November 29, 1926 in Kaukauna, the daughter of the late Carl and Elsie (Paschen) Albert. On August 16, 1947 she married Edward Kaphingst at Trinity Lutheran Church in Kaukauna.
She is survived by her husband Edward of Kaukauna, who will greatly miss their rides in the country, daily meditations together, and their life long cribbage tournament. She will be missed by her children: Kenneth (Judith) Kaphingst of Kaukauna, Karen (Earl) Monday of Wayzeta, Minnesota, Keith (Karen) Kaphingst of Oconomowoc, Kay (Greg) Scott of Kaukauna, and David (Karen) Kaphingst of Freedom; and the many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who filled her heart with joy. Her grandchildren are: Jennifer (Joe) Dillinger, Sarah (Robert) Koester, Jason (Margie) Kaphingst, Uriah (Allison) Monday, Shiloh (Molly) Monday, Andrew (Rachel) Monday, Hannah and Olivia Monday, Tim (Jodi) Ledvina, Dana (Craig) Hoff, Pam (Jon) Luellen, Brian (Jill) Kaphingst, Katherine and Elizabeth Kaphingst, Joshua (Kristi) Scott, Benjamin (Rebecca) Scott, Anthony Scott, Trevor Scott and fiancee Katie Zdanowski, Peter Scott, Nicole Kaphingst and fiancee Mike Vesperman, Erin and Amy Kaphingst. Great-grandchildren: Emily and Joshua Dillinger, Savanna Koester, Cody Lemmers, Owen Kaphingst, Isaac Monday, Samuel Monday, Benjamin Monday, Arianna and McKayla Hoff, Connor, Abby, and Julia Luellen, Bradley and Cassandra Kaphingst, Joel Ledvina, Jacob and Madeline Scott, and Elijah Scott. She is survived by her brothers: Melvin (Alice) Albert of Green Bay, and Richard (Kathy) Albert of Normal, Illinois; her sisters: Esther Tremel of Wausau, Gertrude Griswold of Neenah, and Elaine Kuhn of Green Bay; and a sister-in-law, Doris Marzahl of Kaukauna.
She was preceded in death by brother-in-law Robert Kuhn; and brother-in-law Karl Marzahl.
Though challenged physically for many years, her focus always remained on her Lord, her husband, and her family. Like her heart, her home was full of love and her home was where her family wanted to be. Everyone will especially remember Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's. We will always wonder how their modest home could hold so many people and all that love.
A funeral service will be conducted on Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kaukauna with the Rev. Karl Schultz officiating. Interment will take place at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery. Friends may call at Fargo Funeral Home on Wednesday from 4-8 p.m. and at the church on Thursday from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund is being established.
P.S. Heaven will finally have chocolate chip and hickory nut cookies.
