*Margaret L. Fromm<\/strong><\/p>\nMargaret Louise Fromm, 63, of Sparta died Thursday, September 27, 2007, at
\nGundersen Lutheran Medical Center, La Crosse after a two and a half year
\nbattle with ovarian cancer. She was born on March 23, 1944 in Lincoln,
\nNebraska, to Edwin and Ellen (Meyer) Friedrich. As a pastor\u00c2\u00b9s daughter, she
\nmoved several times to rural Minnesota towns during her youth. She graduated
\nfrom Rushford High School in 1962. Marge attended Concordia Teacher\u00c2\u00b9s
\nCollege in both St. Paul, Minnesota, and Seward, Nebraska, graduating with a
\ndegree in Elementary Education in 1966.<\/p>\n
She married Wallace E. Fromm on June 12, 1965, in Belevidere, Minnesota.
\nMarge taught in a rural Nebraska town for one year before they moved to
\nWilliamsburg, Iowa. She also taught for one year in Iowa before the birth of
\ntheir first child, Lowell in 1967. For several years, she was the secretary
\nof their church. Marge and Wally had three more children, Beth, Clay, and
\nJulie, before moving to Sparta, Wisconsin in 1973.<\/p>\n
In 1980, Marge began a lifelong career, culminating as the Library Director,
\nat the Sparta Free Library. As a devoted employee, she was respected,
\nadmired, and loved by those that knew her. Because of her declining health,
\nshe retired in June of 2006.<\/p>\n
Not the stereotypical image of a librarian, Marge loved adventure and being
\noutdoors. She spent numerous vacations sailing, both on area lakes and on
\nLake Superior, biking on trails throughout the state, white water rafting
\nalong the rivers of the Appalachian Mountains, cross country skiing,
\ncamping, and canoeing along area rivers. She also enjoyed reading, playing
\ncard and board games and, more than anything, spending time with her
\nchildren and grandchildren.<\/p>\n
Marge was a member of St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church. Her faith in God has
\nsustained her through many challenges in life. She has met difficulty with
\nuncomplaining strength, joy and love that could only come from the Lord.
\nChurch attendance, prayer, Bible and devotional reading have all given her
\nmuch hope through the hardest of times. We rejoice that she now has met
\nJesus face to face and look forward to spending our eternity with her.
\nShe is survived by her husband Wallace, of Sparta, her son Lowell Fromm,
\nalso of Sparta, her daughter Beth (Darren) Pierce, of Marion, Iowa, her son
\nClay (LaRae) Fromm, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, her daughter, Julie (John)
