Marjean was such a wonderful lady and a great neighbor. It was hard to hear of her passing. Praying for Tom and his family
Having gone through this I can only offer my sincere regrets and hope that Tom can remember the good times.
We are so sorry to learn of MarJean’s passing. We are praying for you Tom and family. You’ve been wonderful neighbors for over 30 years. Let us know if you need anything.
Tom and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. We will miss that beautiful smile Marjean always had for us.
MarJean was such a loving and giving person. Always a smile. Gracious. Faith and family at the center of her world. I’d see her at bridge and she would catch me up on family and grandchildren. She had her own health concerns but never did she complain. Instead, she would focus on the positive light in her world. Prayers for her family for your incredible loss. xoxo
So sorry to hear of MarJean’s passing. She was a wonderful woman, and will be greatly missed. Praying for peace for your family during this very difficult time.
We knew MarJean since the day they moved to Hudson and appreciated her as a neighbor, fellow Trinity member, enthusiastic Bridge opponent, and kind and thoughtful friend. We are saddened by the news and pray for her family and know they will cherish wonderful memories of her forever.
At the Bridge table, we feared MarJean’s cunning. But she will always be remembered by us for her many acts of kindness, her sense of humor and her beautiful smile.
Tom Malchow and Family,
You and your Family Have our Deepest Sympathy in loss of Marjean. May God be with you and your Family during this sad time. She was always a Happy Person and we will have treasured memories of her. She will be missed. Always have and keep the Memories and Good times that you had with her. So Sorry for your loss.
From Aunt Marion Raduenz and Family.
Tom and family,
The Derfus family from Webster St., Neenah sends you and your family our deepest sympathy. We will always remember you as great neighbors so many years ago. I’ll always remember Mrs. Malchow smiling at all us kids. She was a lovely lady. Thank you for putting Marjean’s obit in the Post Crescent and letting Neenah folks know.

Tom and family we were truly saddened to hear that Marjean passed away. She was such a bright spot in our day when she would greet us at church with that beautiful smile. I’m sure she is brightening up heaven now.
