Marge Mountin, 102, of Juneau passed away on Thursday, Feb. 4, of natural causes. Marge was born October 19, 1918, in Juneau, the daughter of Edward and Francis (Kraut) Hilgendorf. A lifelong resident of Juneau, Marge married Maurice Mountin on March 8, 1941.

The store changed hands in 1968, when their son Jerry took over the family business. Marge continued to work for her son in both his Juneau and Mayville stores up until the age of 85, a total of over 50 years in the grocery business. Marge was also at home in the kitchen cooking for family, friends and neighbors. The long list of culinary delights coming from her kitchen included a chocolate birthday cake with custard filling. She also played bridge on a regular basis with her friends. The “girls” played just about everywhere in Dodge County every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Marge was also an avid fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, always asking, “What time is the game on today?” She also watched football from time to time, mostly because she had a bit of a crush on Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre. Marge is survived by two sons, Jerry (Pat) and Tom; three grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Maurice Mountin; brother, Elmer Hilgendorf; and her sisters, Eileen Thomson and Evelyn Hanson.

His first car was a 1968 Dodge Charger SE. He used it to pull his boat on his fishing excursions. Later, he would graduate to pickups and SUVs. Jerry was also a passionate Green Bay Packers fan. Jerry always watched or listened to the game on the radio. He would yell at the television or radio when there was a bad call or mistake on the Packers' part. It never mattered if they were having a bad season or great season. One of the highlights of his life was when he got to go to a game. He won tickets at work and took his son Jonathan. Sarah went all out for a Christmas present for her dad and bought him the Ultimate Packer package. He also went with a cousin to a preseason game. Jerry loved his family passionately. He went in search of a mermaid to share his journey. He placed an ad in Sheela Wood's Have a Friend Column in the back of one of the supermarket tabloids. In October 1980, Lisa Rose Hill answered his ad. They began a whirlwind correspondence. This led to them meeting for the first time on December 31, 1980. He flew to San Francisco, CA. When they laid eyes on each other, they knew this was it. He proposed on January 11,1981. He flew back to San Francisco in April 1981 to go to Barry Manilow concert at Cesar Tahoe at Stateline, NV, on April 11, 1981. After the concert, Jerry asked Lisa if she would like to get married. They went to Carson City, NV, to get their license. At 10 minutes to 5 in the morning on April 12, 1981, in a little chapel with just one witness and a preacher, Jerry and Lisa pledged their eternal love to one another and the two became one. Together, they would have and raise five children. He loved his wife and children deeply. He loved to travel with his family. He took them fishing, hunting, camping and boating. He shared the knowledge he acquired going to the School of Life freely with his beloved family. He always would help anyone who asked whether his dad needed something, help Lisa rebuild a shelf she bought at a garage sale, Patrick remodel his house, or instruct Andy in how to do wiring. His whole world was his family and he loved them all passionately and unconditionally. To celebrate his life and forever remember him, he left his beloved soulmate of 39 years, Lisa Rose (Hill) Wondra; five wonderful children, Andy of Mayville, Patrick of Mayville, Jonathan of Green Bay, Sarah (Josiah Brooks) Aull of Camp Pendleton, CA, and Ruth Ann Wondra of Mayville.
