Obituary

SUN PRAIRIE - Margaret A. “Marge” Luther, age 91, died on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, in Sun Prairie, Wis.  Marge was born in Madison, Wis., on Dec. 8, 1930, to Roy and Hazel (Dunbar) Kruger. She graduated from Madison West High School and later married James D. “Jim” Luther on Feb. 25, 1950. They enjoyed 70 years of marriage until Jim’s death in 2020.  


Marge was a lifelong resident of Wisconsin and an enthusiastic Green Bay Packers fan. Her pastimes were bird and wildlife watching, fishing and playing cards. Above all else, Marge was a devoted wife and mother. Nothing meant more to her than her family. As the generations of her family grew, so did her love.


Marge is survived by her three children, Linda Maertz, Roxanne Young and David (Rebecca) Luther. Marge is also survived by seven grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; her sister-in-law, Inez Kruger; and extended family. Marge was preceded in death by her husband. Jim; granddaughter, Laurie Ann Young; her parents; and siblings, Roy Kruger, Marlene Howe and Robert Kruger.


A gathering to celebrate the lives of both Jim and Marge will take place at ROSELAWN MEMORIAL PARK, 401 Femrite Drive, Monona, at 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 16, 2022. Condolences may be directed to the family at P.O. Box 731, St. Maries, ID 83861. Memorials may be directed to Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, 211 S.

Aunt Marge was the dearest, always sweet and laughing. So many memories of her from my youth, as she had a car and would drive us places. She was crazy about her children, Bridget the dog, and her beloved Jim. In my later years, from Friday night fish fry to an afternoon of poker, Ray and I always looked forward to seeing her and Jim. We miss them and their cheerfulness. Kathy Howe and Ray Muller

There are just so many memories, I might find myself here a gazillion times. I told this story at the service, but figured why not share here. I saw my first "dead body" with grandma. We were at Dalton where so many memories happened and it was just the two of us on a walk. On the side of the gravel road, we saw a body. Before I could even question anything grandma yelled JAMES LUTHER at the top of her lungs. Anyone that has ever heard that from her knows it could be ear-piercing. Well apparently it was loud enough to wake "the dead" because the dead person began moving. Turns out, they just had too much to drink and had passed out on the side of the road. ;-)
