Marshall was born September 27, 1931, in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin to Howard B and Hazel (Marshall) Coon. Marshall graduated high school from Oxford, Wisconsin in 1949. He enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1951. While stationed in England he met Emily Arstall. They married in the United States and had two daughters Rita and Marty. Emily passed away in 1988. Marshall married Rita Dittburner in 1989 and she passed away in 1995. Marshall married Frances Roberts in 1998 and they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in 2023.
Marshall was a man of many talents as his work life was so diverse. He farmed as a young man and then he and Emily purchased and operated Club 23 for 10 years. In 1989 Marshall was appointed by the Adams County Board to the position of Adams County Highway Commissioner. He held this position until his retirement in 1998.
Marshall belonged to many clubs during his lifetime which led him to volunteer many hours of community service. He belonged to the Adams Trinity Congregational Church,
Quincy Adams Lodge #71, Order of the Eastern Star – Kilbourn Chapter #120 and Rainbow Chapter #87, Faith in Action, Heart of Wisconsin Shrine Club, New Haven Sno-Streakers, Lake Mason Lions Club, and Moundview Golf Course.
Marshall loved spending time at Castle Rock Park at their “home on the lake.” Family get togethers at the lake was always a special time. Marshall enjoyed golfing, bowling, and going to the stock car races in the Dells until his health did not allow any longer. He looked forward to watching the Nascar races on Sundays, as well as reading and doing crossword puzzles. But his favorite time was spending time with his family whether it was a family reunion in Oxford, a lunch date with his siblings and relatives or going to watch his grandchildren and great grandchildren in sport, plays, or special events – these were the times that were most precious to him.
Marshall was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Ed and sister-in-law Joy, brother-in-law Don Goetsch, son-in-law Jeff Mamayak, stepdaughter Brenda Quinnell and wives Emily and Rita.
Marshall is survived by: Wife Frances, Daughters, Rita Mamayak and Marty Coon, Stepdaughters Kathie (Jerry) Dye, Nancy (Claude Hiller) Macewicz, Stepson Butch (Lori) Roberts, step-son-in-law. Robert Quinnell; Sisters Patsy Goetsch, Catherine (Tony) Deichl, Grandchildren Kelly (Kim) Roehl, Quinn (Michele) Roehl, Chad Roehl, Kristy (Kris) Barr, Karrie (Terry) Fritz, Katie (Tim) Mallet, Brett (Megan) Borck, KC (Kristen) Houslet, Carrie (Scott Young) Allard, Jennifer (Zac) Henson, Kevin (Amy) Dye, Christopher Macewicz, Amy Macewicz, Chad (Karen Perik) Rhinehart, Heather Rhinehart, Abigail Quinnell, and many loving great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Special thanks to the loving and compassionate staff at Gundersen Moundview and Gundersen Lutheran that helped make his last days dignified and comfortable and to the kind and caring staff at Rosebrooke Senior Living who always shared a smile and a friendly game of Bingo.
In lieu of flowers Memorials may be directed in Marshall’s memory to the Heart of Wisconsin Zor Shrine Club to be forwarded to the Shriners Children’s Hospital.
Marshall will always be remembered for his smile and good hugs.
So sorry to hear of Marshals passing. My thoughts and condolences for his family. Many memories from farming, snowmobile club, loading hay, club 23 and always being a helpful friend. Rest in peace dear friend🙏
Dear Fran,
I remember when I was a “fill in” when Joe Renner needed to get to town for a regular shopping trip or a special run and you and Marshall were not available. Joe always spoke so highly of you. And I always agreed that you and Marshall were extra special people – always so positive in spirit and so giving to your community. Marshall will be missed! May you and Kathy and Jerry feel God’s presence in this very difficult time.
Kathy, so sorry to hear of the loss of your step-dad. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Fran and family
I am sorry for your loss of Marshall.
I will always remember his smile and hand shake when we would meet.
God bless you all.
Marshall…there will never be another you! Always smiling or about to smile… always tolerant of the many shenanigans of the group who enjoyed nothing more than a stop at Club 23 on our way home from Big Spring. Without your guidance, our chicken dancing skills would have been sub par. Your kindness, humor and generosity of spirit will be missed.
Sincere condolences to your family and all who loved you. Pat and Maureen
My favorite bus driver, dairy farmer, Wonderful Dad of my long time special friends Marti and Rita, husband to my sweet friend Fran. I’ve so loved reconnecting with you and getting to spend time with you again these past 3 years. You will be missed sweet man.
We are very sorry for your loss. I spent every summer from 1963-1969 down on the farm. They were good times and memories. I will always cherish the times spent there. Hopefully the families are doing well

Let’s see. When I think of Marshall I think of Jersey cows, fast car rides to breed a cow, whisker rubs & of course lots of memories at Club 23. You worked hard all your life………now you can rest
Fran and family. We were saddened to read of Marshall passing. He did have a wonderful life with a lot of different experiences. We always enjoyed talking with him, especially during the onion sales when he would be sitting by the bank. Wish we could say if you need anything just ask, however we are currently living in Ogden Utah and will not be able to attend any services. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Fran and family, So sorry for your loss! Had just talked to you about moving from your house on the lake into Rosebrooke. May God comfort and keep you!

Marshall will be truly missed. I first met him when he drove school bus for a time, then as a fellow Mason and Shriner. He was always a nice compassionate man.
We enjoyed our visits with Marshall and Fran at Christmas and out at the Lake in the summer.
He was so kind and caring of others, loved his smile and good hugs. We loved his house decorations when they lived across the street from us. Love to Fran and family…..
So sorry for your loss. Had some good times at Club 23 during their ownership. Memories are precious. Sharon (Pfister) Lincoln.
So sorry to hear of Marshall’s passing. It was so fun to talk to him at OES meetings. I especially remember when we found out that he had owned Club 23 after my parent’s owned it and he knew them. We got a kick out of him telling Joe he had know me a lot longer than him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss.
