April 8, 2020 – West Bend, WI – Marilyn Rolfs, 91, passed away on April 7 after a very long and full life.
Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Johanna and Arpad Masley, her husband Robert T. Rolfs, her brother Arpad Masley Jr. and her daughter-in-law Diane Rolfs. She is survived by her five sons, Robert, Mark, Michael (Carol), Christopher, Stephen (Peg), eight grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
Marilyn was born in Madison, Wisconsin. She attended the University of Wisconsin where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. To her father’s delight, she graduated with honors in 1950. She was a member of St. Francis Cabrini Parish in West Bend. She enjoyed attending Wisconsin and Notre Dame football games with her family and friends. She also enjoyed the beautiful summers in Wisconsin, playing golf at the West Bend Country Club and spending her winters in Arizona and Hawaii. And for those few who might not know, her favorite color was blue.
The family extends its gratitude to the caregivers and friends who have supported, cared for, and checked in on Marilyn in the later stages of her life. At this time, the family plans to hold a private mass and burial ceremony and looks forward to celebrating Marilyn’s life in the future. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to the Evans Scholars Foundation or the Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington County.
The Schmidt Funeral Home of West Bend is serving the family.
