MARIE (STOELTING) LEE Marie Elizabeth (Stoelting) Lee, formerly of Kiel, went peacefully to be with her Lord in Heaven on April 12, 2010, at the age of 91, in Baraboo, Wis. She had been hospitalized for a week and during that time was lovingly cared for by her family. She was born in Kiel, Wis., on Jan. 6, 1919, the youngest of four children of Adolph and Hertha (Krieger) Stoelting. At the age of four, she and her family moved to Indian Hill in Kiel along the Sheboygan River, a place of many warm memories for family and Kiel friends. Many of her childhood days were spent swimming in the river or ice-skating up into the Marsh. She attended Kiel Public Schools and in High School was a cheerleader and involved in music and drama. She was active in Girl Scouts and was the first girl in Kiel to receive the Golden Eaglet Award. She graduated as Salutatorian of the class of 1936 and went on to the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where she majored in Physical Education, graduating with Honors in 1940. Her first job was in Jefferson, Wis. where, for two years, she taught K-12 Phy Ed. She then taught Phy. Ed. in Two Rivers, Wis. and enjoyed directing the "Polliwogs" synchronized swimming club. While at Jefferson, she met the love of her life, Olaf Lee, of Deerfield, Wis., who was teaching in the High School. After a 3-year courtship, she and Olaf were married on June 10, 1945, in the garden at Indian Hill in Kiel. Olaf served with the Merchant Marines until World War II ended and then they moved to Madison. In 1947, Marie and Olaf moved back to Kiel, where Marie lived for the next 50 years. Olaf joined Stoelting Bros. Company and Marie became a housewife and mother to a family of five girls: Sara, Kathryn, Barbara, Carin and Christine. They built a home on the opposite side of the river from her childhood home and her girls now enjoyed the same wonderful place to grow up. She loved Kiel and its good people. Over the years, that love of the "Kiel" stories was passed on to her children. Many of her summers were spent at the family cottage at Lake Ripley in Cambridge, Wis. where she enjoyed swimming and watching the sunrise from the porch. Marie was active in her community and involved in her church. She was on the Indian Hill and Library Boards, and for many years was General Leader of the Kiel Riverside 4-H Club. She was a member of the Historical Society and Study Club and a charter member of the Homecraft Homemakers Club. She loved her church, Trinity Lutheran, in Kiel and was a Sunday school teacher and member of the Choir and Ladies Aid. Her contributions always showed dedication and kindness in remembering others, but many will remember most her warmth, fun-loving attitude, and young-at-heart spirit. In 2001, Marie moved to Baraboo, where she was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church. She experienced many blessings during her life, none greater than her Christian faith. She knew her earthly journey was in her Savior's Hand and this was the anchor of her days, which she lived out trusting His plan for her and assured of His Promises and Heaven. She will fittingly be buried in the Kiel Cemetery along the Sheboygan River and between her childhood home and the home where she raised her family.
