Margaret Tarnowski, age 90, of Sheboygan entered eternal life on
Wednesday, February 1, 2023. Margie was born September 8, 1932, in
Milwaukee to the late Joseph and Agnes (Schmitz) Fessler. She was
united in marriage to August “Gus” Tarnowski on June 14, 1952 at Sacred
Heart Catholic Church in St. Francis, WI. The couple was blessed to have
celebrated 70 years of marriage.
Margie attended Sacred Heart grade school and graduated from Bay View
High School in 1950 and was employed by the Ladish Company for several
years. After Gus was discharged from the Army, they made their home in
South Milwaukee with their young and growing family, and moved to
Sheboygan in 1969. A mother of 9 along with some other close family
friends, Margie was a homemaker and served as Bookkeeper for the family
business, GT Hauling. She was a long-time member of Holy Name of
Jesus Catholic Parish and the St. Anne’s Society. Special interests were
gardening, canning, knitting, crocheting, and volunteering at St. Nicholas
Hospital. Family and friends were everything to Margie, where she and
Gus welcomed all into their home – whether for a cup of coffee or a meal.
Everyone was always welcome! She will be remembered for being a
devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.
Survivors include her loving husband Gus, children Christine (Gary)
Hameister of Sheboygan, Debra (Frank) Trcka of Sheboygan, Annette
