Marvin H. Wisnefske, age 96 of Clintonville, formerly of the Town of Bear Creek, Waupaca County, passed away on Tuesday afternoon, June 2, 2020 at Aster Assisted Living in Clintonville.

Marvin was born on January 13, 1924 in Bear Creek as the son of the late Henry and Bertha (Buelow) Wisnefske. He was baptized on January 16, 1924 and later confirmed on April 2, 1939 at St. Martin Lutheran Church in Clintonville where he was a member his entire life and served as an usher for 53 years. Marvin was raised in Bear Creek and later united in marriage to Elaine Reinert on June 18, 1949 at Christus Lutheran Church in Clintonville. The couple farmed in Bear Creek and eventually sold their cows in 1988. They continued to reside on the farm until recently moving to Aster in Clintonville a few years ago. Marvin loved spending time outdoors chasing deer and turkeys, or spending a quiet afternoon fishing. He was a longtime member of the Bear Creek Lions Club and enjoyed volunteering for numerous projects. Marvin and Elaine enjoyed spending time with their many friends over the years; especially when it came to playing sheephead and dancing with the Jolly Mixers Dance Club.
