MADISON - Marilynne K. Strassburg, age 83, of Madison, passed away on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at Oak Park Place. She was born on November 28, 1941, the daughter of Ralph and Fern (Deininger) Bridge.

Marilynne graduated from Juda High School in 1959 and married Paul Strassburg that same year. Together they owned Floral Designs by Paul for many years. After they sold the business, Marilynne worked in records keeping for MG&E for 15 years.

Marilynne’s family was her pride and joy and taking care of them was her main priority. While her children were growing up, she opened her home to anyone, often becoming a second parent to many of her children’s friends. Marilynne loved reading, especially mysteries, playing cribbage and cheering on the Badger Men’s Basketball team, the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Lakers. She never missed an opportunity to support her children and grandchildren in whatever they did. She loved to watch Scott, and his friends play softball and rarely missed a game.

Marilynne is survived by her sons, Scott (Stacey Nevar-Strassburg) Strassburg and Monte Strassburg; and grandchildren, Kayla (Allen) Darkow and Connor (Barrisha) Strassburg and great grandchildren, Eleanor Darkow, Micah and Kai Strassburg. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Fern; brother, Fred (Lou) Bridge; and sister, Nancy (Bill) Davies.

In keeping with Marilynne’s wishes, no services will be held. A special thank you to the staff at Oak Park Place-East and Agrace HospiceCare for their exceptional and compassionate care.

Memorials may be made to the Dane County Humane Society, American Heart Association or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
