Marcille "Marcie" Lola Apps was called to her heavenly home by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Sunday, October 15, 2023.

She was born in Berlin, Wisconsin on March 25, 1938 to parents Henry and Viola Kirk. She grew up on a farm and in 4H. She showed prize winning cows and clothing at the Winnebago County fair. Marcie graduated Berlin High School with honors in 1956. All through high school, Marcie played organ for church services and enjoyed playing both organ and piano.

Marcie attended Milwaukee School of Nursing in 1956, and UW Oshkosh in 1957. Marcie met her husband while she was working at the Majestic Restaurant in Oshkosh and he was cutting hair at the Crystal Barbershop across the street. They were married on October 18, 1958 and made their home in Sheboygan.

In the late 1960s, Marcie earned her associates degree in accounting at Lakeshore Technical College and worked at Citizens Bank as a teller. Marcie did the accounting for Northgate Barbershop which she and her husband both owned and operated. She also worked for H&R Block a few years during tax season.

In 1982, they sold the barbershop, bought and successfully operated Grand Valley Campground in Kingston. In 1993, they were involved in a serious accident where both were hit by a car while walking across the street in Valdosta, Georgia.

In 1994, they sold the campground, moving to Neshkoro where her husband continued to barber part-time while Marcie continued to do the accounting.

In 2001, they moved to Wild Rose to retire, though her husband continued to cut hair in Neshkoro. Over the years, Marcie survived multiple bouts of cancer ultimately losing her right arm as a result. Marcie handled all these challenges with a can-do attitude as she re-learned how to manage daily tasks and still have beautiful penmanship with her left hand.

Marcie loved travel, music and spending time with her family. Marcie is preceded in death by parents Henry and Viola Kirk, sister Arlene Kirk and brother Robert (Donna) Kirk.

Marcie is survived by her sister, sister-in-law, husband, sons, grandchildren, and great-grandson.

A Funeral Service for Marcie will be on Saturday, October 21, 2023 at 11:00 AM at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 420 Park Avenue, Wild Rose, WI. Reverend Brian Roehrborn will officiate. A visitation will be held on Friday evening, October 20th, from 4:00 – 8:00 PM at the Holly Funeral Home, 630 County Road G & H, in Wild Rose and again on Saturday morning from 10:00 – 11:00 AM at the church.

In lieu of flowers a memorial will be established for the American Cancer Society.

The family would also like to thank the staff at Heartland House in Wautoma for their kindness and care in Marcie's last days.

The Holly Funeral Home of Wild Rose is assisting the family with arrangements.
