At Hospice House on July 8, 2013, following a courageous battle with cancer, Jerilynn Louise Marron, 67, was quietly and peacefully lifted into the arms of Our Loving Father. Jerilynn was born on October 21, 1945, the daughter of Niels P. and Geraldine V. (Larson) Nielsen. A lifelong Kenosha resident, she was educated at Kenosha Schools. In 1963, she married Louis J. Zagame. Jerilynn married her loving husband, John (Jack) Marron, on December 1, 2003. She was employed at several local places: Hamilton Beach, Montgomery Ward, Tri-Clover Credit Union, and Kenosha Savings and Loan. She especially enjoyed her positions at women’s clothing stores, including Liz Claiborne, Ann Klein, London Fog and Aileen’s. She loved crocheting, needlepointing and doing many other crafts. She spent many hours happily creating beautiful gifts for her family and friends. She will be sadly missed by her husband, Jack; her children, Patricia (Zagame) Jacob of Barnes, WI; and Dino J. (Donna) Zagame of Bristol, WI; her sister, Susan M. Nielsen, and brother, Gary L. Nielsen. Her grandchildren, Bonnilynn and Louis Pilligor; Niko, Gabrielle and Garett Zagame; and many nieces and nephews, will also cherish memories of her. Jerilynn was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Richard K. and Roger A.; her sister, Gayle P. Hannes; and her son-in-law, Tony Jacob. Later in her life, she found her passion in dancing. Many friends will miss her playful and generous nature, as well as her amazing ability to learn and help others with new dance steps. She believed that life should be enjoyed. As James Howe said, “Life is short -- there will always be dirty dishes -- so let’s dance.” A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 15th, at Proko Funeral Home at 7:00 p.m. A visitation will be held on Monday from 4:00 p.m. until the time of service. Interment will be held on Tuesday at Green Ridge Cemetery at 10:00 a.m.Proko Funeral Home & Crematory5111-60th StreetKenosha, WI 53144Phone: (262) 654-3533Visit Jerilynn’s Online Memorial at:www.prokofuneralhome.com

I lived across the street from Jerilynn and shared so many memoried. Her mom saved me when I got stuck in a tree in their yard. My husband Dave and I often went out with Jerilynn in our younger days. We loved her so and are so sad to hear this news. I know how she loved her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

We are saddened for your loss and our hearts go out to Jerilynn's family and friends. She fought a long hard battle but God saw that she was getting tired and told her to "take my hand and walk with me", and she is no longer in pain. Our sister-in-law Gayle was her sister and now they are together again in Heaven. She was a beautiful person and always kind even after not seeing us for many years. May your love for her and your memories comfort you at this difficult time.
