Marian Carolyn Brewer, age 82, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 4 at the home of her son in Bangor, WI. Marian was born January 28, 1932 in Honey Creek Township, the daughter of Thomas and Ida (Maulwurf) Repka. She married William (Bill) Barton Brewer on April 8, 1950 and lived with him for 62 years in their log home on the Wisconsin River.

Marian was a loving wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. She cherished making memories for anyone that visited the river. She loved to bake and everyone that tasted them loved her custard pies. She was also an avid flower gardener and was a member (and president) of the Mazomanie Garden Club. Marian was a longtime volunteer at Jefferson Meadows (over 20 years) in Baraboo (and loved baking with the residents) and lifetime member of the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society. She loved football and wouldn't miss a Packers game.



She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill in 2012; her parents; brothers, Donald and Lenard; and sister, Dorothy Brechtl.

She is survived by her daughter Vicky (Neal) Hasheider of Santa Clara, CA; son Billy (Jane Esser) of Bangor, WI; daughter Kris Brewer of Rochester MN. Marian has three grandchildren, Rachael (Martin) Walasek of San Carlos, CA; Matthew Rein of Minneapolis, MN; and Andrew Rein of Rochester, MN. She is also survived by three sisters, Darleen Washa of Reedsburg, Theresa (George) Thompson of Baraboo, and Shirley Henke of Reedsburg; a brother, Thomas (Pat) Repka of Janesville; sister-in-law, Yvonne Brewer of Sauk City; and brother-in-law, John (Donna) Fox of Baraboo.

Marian specifically requested that there be no funeral service. She would like to be remembered as she lived. All memorials are to be made to the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society, 565 Water Street, Prairie du Sac, WI 53578. A celebration of life will be held for Bill and Marian at a later date.
