On August 17, 2025, Marilyn Pfaff, age 92, a cherished, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister
and friend, gently departed this life, at home.

She was born on October 22, 1932, in La Crosse, WI to Orval and Pearl Becker. She was the second oldest
of 10 children.

Marilyn had four children: Cindy Teale of Holmen; Debbie (Bill) Barr of Onalaska; Robbie (Renae) Teale of Holmen and Jamie (Carol) Teale of Winona. She had 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren
whom she “loved the most”.

She was a nurse for 30 years, 27 of which were dedicated to La Crosse Gundersen Lutheran Hospital. She
had a passion for all living creatures, especially children, dogs, cats, birds, horses, squirrels, mice,
donkeys, possums, geese, ducks, racoons, etc., etc., etc.……

She was a beautiful, gentle person who was a little shy until you got to know her. She loved green tea, sweets and heat. She could laugh at herself and loved to laugh every day.
This world will not be the same and tea will not be as sweet without her.

Please, send no house plants. In place of house plants, in our mother’s honor, feel free to make a donation to the La Crosse Humane Society.

A celebration of life will be held from 12-3:00pm, Saturday, September 27, 2025, at The Gathering Place, 133 Mason St. in Onalaska.
