Obituary

MIDDLETON - Marcie M. Acker, age 85, of Middleton, passed away on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Heritage Middleton. She was born on February 21, 1940, in Roxbury, the daughter of Jack and Irene (Breunig) Schwartz.

 

Marcie graduated from Sauk Prairie High School. She married Leroy Acker on June 30, 1959, at St. Norbert’s Catholic Church in Roxbury. She worked in the Claims Department for Middleton Insurance Co., retiring in 2001. She also babysat for many families at her home.

 

Marcie loved to shop and was a fan of QVC. She could often be found crafting, doing word puzzles or reading, and HGTV and the Food Network were often on in the background. Christmas was Marcie’s favorite holiday. She also enjoyed camping trips, but most of all, Marcie loved playing with her grandchildren.

 

Marcie loved more than anything sharing her time with her family, friends, neighbors, work associates, caregivers and anyone she encountered. She had the best sense of humor and always made everyone she met feel loved and listened to. She will be missed by so many. She was a fighter as well, and she held on as long as her body would allow. Her mind was still strong even when she was tired.

 

Marcie is survived by her husband, Leroy; son, Derek (Denise); daughter, Shannon (Brian) Murray; brothers, Clem and Gerard Schwartz; sisters-in-law, Marie Michaels and Nancy Schwartz; and grandchildren, Kelsey, Keegan and Kya (Claudio) Chairez, Karis, and Evan and Roz Murray. She was preceded in death by her parents, Irene and Jack; son, Bryce; brothers, Jim and Hubert; and sisters, Pearl and Polly.

 

Memorials may be made to the Dane County Humane Society.

 

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Heritage Memory Care, her Agrace HospiceCare team, and Dr. Kelly Herold and her team for the many years of thoughtful care. An additional huge thank you to Debbie Kratochwill for all of her support and kindness.

Marcie was a wonderful woman. Shannon was my best friend in high school and I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with Marcie and LeRoy. I lived with them my senior year of high school and I am grateful for that time. Marcie was kind, loving, generous, funny and just so much fun to be around. She always made me feel cared about and like part of the family. My prayers go out to LeRoy, Shannon, Brian, Derek, Denise and the rest of the family. ❤️

In 1968 the Scherschel family( 9 kids)moved in next to Marcie n Leroy. For over forty years they were loving sharing and caring neighbors.Whenever we had a project going on Marcie would always send Leroy over to offer his guidance n tools. Marcie would walk down the driveway in her long bath robe to retrieve the morning paper. she would glance over to see if Lauretta had opened the blinds signaling all was well.The little things that loving neighbors do..She was an ear to vent too and a shoulder to cry on when mom needed.. our condolences n love Darrell Scherschel

Leroy, Derek and Shannon, we are so sorry to see Marcie’s passing. May she rest in peace. We have many memories, especially of the many years of camping. They were always so much fun. When ever we ran into each other she would always stop and chat with a beautiful smile. She will be missed. Love Rich and Char Leahy
