Marion Mabel Marie Nell Metzger
June 16, 1923 — February 8, 2023

Marion was a loving, caring, and busy woman who raised her family and volunteered her extra time as needed within her community. She enjoyed her time with the lady’s guild of Wisconsin Lutheran High School and served as a volunteer for the Wisconsin Lutheran Family Services. Marion was an avid seamstress who sewed pillows for Wisconsin Lutheran Family Services as well as making clothes and home decor for her own family. She also found time to volunteer at the Bargain Center in Milwaukee. As a homemaker she enjoyed the creative sides of life, baking and decorating cakes, painting, gardening, and ceramics. Her faith was also important to her which showed through her many years of teaching Sunday School and singing in the church choir.
She is survived by her daughter Priscilla (James) Martens, sister Donna Nell; daughter-in-law Janice Nell; grandchildren Jennifer (Timothy) Westerhaus, Melissa Martens, Melinda (Cory) Schmuki and Katerina (Brad) Suchan; great-grandchildren Jacob and Caleb Schmuki. She is further survived by other family and friends. Marion is preceded in death by her first husband Arthur E. Nell and her second husband Harvey W. Metzger, her son A.
