Marvin C. Nussbaumer, age 94, passed away on October 10, 2016, at Bethel Lutheran Nursing Home in Oshkosh. Marvin was born on January 12, 1922, in Neenah, and grew up on a dairy farm west of Neenah. After finishing grade school, he worked as a hired laborer at the Boss Farms northwest of Oshkosh. On June 19, 1947, Marvin married Bernice Volp of Winneconne, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. In 1954, the couple moved to Omro and joined Grace Lutheran Church, where Marvin served as a Trustee. Marvin worked as a carpenter and block layer for Oshkosh house builders, and built milk houses for local farmers. As an employee of the Winnebago County Highway Department from 1959 to 1986, Marvin plowed snow every winter and mowed grass along road sides every summer. He was an avid gardener. From 1960 to 2008 Marvin and Bernice played "Old Time" dance music at hundreds of wedding receptions and parties in Winnebago County.
In retirement, the couple travelled in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. They moved to Gabriel's Villa in 2010 and to Bethel Home in 2012.
Marvin was preceded in death by his wife, Bernice, in 2015; his parents, Gottfried and Bessie Nussbaumer; and a brother, Alvin.
He is survived by sisters, Edith Hebbe, of Neenah, and Myrna Picchiottino, of Oshkosh; son, Roy Nussbaumer, of Appleton; son and daughter-in-law, Ralph and Maribeth Nussbaumer, of Brookfield; grandchildren, Blake Nussbaumer, of Brookfield, and Courtney Nussbaumer, of Madison; nephews, nieces, neighbors, and friends.
The family thanks the staff at Gabriel's Villa and Bethel Home for providing six years of excellent medical care for Marvin, in a caring manner.

Dear Carol... Sorry to hear you lost Ken. He was always so pleasant and a smile was never far away. I found the following quote from Rose Kennedy to pretty much mirror my feelings. "It has been said, 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy

Dear Carol, Although I haven't seen you and Ken in many, many years I extend to you and your family my sincere sympathy. I will always remember the family reunions at your mom and dad's cottage. Ken was always such a nice "uncle." Paul Christian Carlsbad, CA

We were shocked to read about Ken's passing. We had just talked about coming to visit you and Ken during the Holidays. We will call to stop in to see you sometime after the funeral to help you in any way we can. We loved you and Ken so much. You were GREAT neighbors in Winchester. May God watch over you and comfort you during this difficult time. Love, Bill and Barb
