Marie was born on October 15, 1932 in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, the daughter of Anthony J. and Rachel (Kuhl) Deutsch. She was baptized by her great uncle, Fr. Grieveldinger, at Immaculate Conception Parish in Kieler, Wisconsin. She attended a one room school in Menominee and graduated from high school at St. Clara Academy. After graduation, Marie met the love of her life, Arnold Dietzel of Dickeyville, Wisconsin, at a dance on Valentine's Day in 1954. On December 29, 1955, they were married at Nativity B.V.M. Church, Menominee, Illinois. He preceded her in death on October 19, 2005.
Marie and Arnold farmed for over 30 years west of Georgetown, Wisconsin, working side by side and raising their six children. After retiring from farming, Marie was employed in Dubuque, Iowa, at Hills and Dales and Dubuque Golf and Country Club. Later, Marie and Arnold sold the farm and moved to Cuba City, Wisconsin, where she provided in-home daycare for 12 years. Following Arnold's death in 2005, Marie worked for Belmont Township Recycling Center, and at the age of 78, she decided it was time to retire.
Marie then made the Cuba City Apartments her home, making many friends along the way. She enjoyed having all family gatherings at her home, as well as cooking, baking, playing cards and completing puzzles. Most importantly, her family always came first.
Marie is survived by her children, Tim (Terri) Dietzel, Horseshoe Bend, AR, Suzanne (Rod) Wilson, LaValle, WI, Pam (Randy) Timmerman, Hazel Green, WI, Randy (Amy) Dietzel, Sturgeon Bay, WI, Terry (Jodi) Dietzel, Oakfield, WI, and Sarah (Bill) Lolwing, Lancaster, WI; 14 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; a sister, Eileen (Dick) Riniker, Dubuque, IA; and a brother-in-law, Edmund Dietzel, Cuba City, WI.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; a sister, Sr. Mary Rachel Deutsch; three brothers, Anthony, Joseph and Francis Deutsch; a granddaughter, Jennifer Dietzel-Harmuth; and her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Regina and Leonard Dietzel.
In lieu of flowers, a Marie R. Dietzel Memorial Fund has been established. Memorials may be sent to the funeral home at 123 N. Jackson St., Cuba City, WI 53807.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staffs of Edenbrook and St. Croix Hospice for their care of Marie.
