Obituary:
Marvin J. Nieland, "Marvie", 78, Medina, passed away Nov. 20, 2010, peacefully at his home.
He was born on April 29, 1932, in Appleton, Wis., son of the late Walter and Amanda Nieland. He married his first wife, Carol Jean Maas, in 1952. Carol preceded him in death in 1984. On July 20, 1991, he married Jan Dengel in Greenville, Wis.
Marv worked for Ray's Tire in Appleton for 30 years, and at his son's bar, Your Place in Dale, where he enjoyed meeting new friends, sharing some laughs, and his favorite drink, Rye Whiskey & Diet Pepsi. After leaving Ray's, he worked as a finish carpenter for Paul Peters Construction for several years until his retirement. Over the years he enjoyed spending time at the "cottage" with family and friends, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. He loved planting his garden every year and tending to his yard.
Marv also belonged to the Greenville Lions for many years. In 1984 he took a trip to Greenville, Miss., with two other members, in which he was an instrumental part in founding the Greenville Catfish races in Greenville, Wis. His lucky fish "Fingers" won the first two official catfish races. Marv enjoyed his time with the Lions and meeting so many people over the years.
His real passion was his woodworking. He could take a piece of wood and turn it into something beautiful. He enjoyed making keepsakes for his family and friends. His spunky attitude and gruff sense of humor will always be remembered.
Marv is survived by his wife, Jan Nieland; children, Donny (Barb) Nieland, Scott Nieland, Lori Kuhnke, Kris (Chris) Treml, Kim(Brian) Mahlendorf, and Michael Dengel; grandchildren, Lizie (Dave) Ewald, Tim (Chelsea) Kuhnke, Adam Kuhnke, Steven and Austin Kuhnke, David and Kyle Nieland, Alex and Brandon Huss, Taylor Euhardy, Baylie Treml, Sydney (Schwartz) Bergner-Dengel; great-grandchildren, Bryce and Hayden Ewald, and Jayden Kuhnke; two sisters, Deloris Maas and Beverly Harke; two sisters-in-laws, Arleen Meyers and Adeline Nieland; adopted family, Bill and Kris Hauser, Gracyn Hicks and family; and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Marv is also preceded in death by his son, Mike Nieland; his brother, Delmar Nieland; and two brothers-in-laws, Elwood Harke and Eugene Maas.
A memorial service for Marv will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2010, At Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Greenville, with the Rev. Nathan Reichle officiating. Family and friends may call directly at the church from 3 p.m. until the time of service. Burial will be at Highland Memorial Park, Appleton.
The family would like to send a special "Thank you" to the nurses and staff of Hospice for the loving care and support through Marv's final days.
Dad, you have been here with me for over 11 years and you have been my "best friend". I will miss you always, Stella.
Honey, you have been my best friend for 22 years and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love and our many years together. I will miss you dearly and look forward to the day we will meet again in heaven. Love you me (Momma).Cline & Hanson
