Tammy Marty
November 24, 1957 — October 3, 2023
Tammy J. Marty, 65, passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Tammy was born in Neillsville on November 24, 1957, to the late Ted and Mayona (Johnson) Lewis. She was united in marriage to Duane Marty on June 1, 1974.
Tammy owned and operated the Neillsville Sears catalog store until the catalog business was eliminated. The store was converted into an antique shop which she operated for a short time. She also worked at the Neillsville M&I Bank. For the past 28 years, she has managed the Neillsville Subway and received Manager of the Year for the region in 2004. After serving for 10 years, she recently resigned as the Grant Township Clerk. She previously served as a Deacon and Sunday school teacher at the United Church of Christ, participated in the Neillsville Chamber of Commerce and served as President along with other responsibilities for the Neillsville Jaycee in her early years.
Tammy enjoyed quilting, scrap booking, stamping up, playing games with her family and occasional trips to the casino. Above all she loved spending time with her family including the many trips she took with her daughter and grandchildren. Anyone that knew Tammy, also knows she loved her flower gardens, which was evident when you visited her. Tammy had a passion for life and never wanted to burden anyone. Even up until the end she always said, “I’m fine.”
Survivors include her husband of 49 years Duane Marty of Neillsville; her (3) children: Mathew Marty of Neillsville, Melissa (Shane) Gurney of Eau Claire, and Michael (Chloe) Marty of La Crosse; her (6) grandchildren: Kelsy Marty, Cole (fiancé Lina) Gurney, Breanna (fiancé Nathan) Marty, Gage Gurney, Kaitlyn Gurney and Mazzy Marty; her (3) siblings: Phoebe (Paul) Bertz of King George, VA, Lisa (Alex) Dahlke of Weston, WI, and Dennis (Jane) Lewis of Sarasota, FL along with many nieces, nephews, friends, and grand puppies.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her mother and father-in-law Florence and Fred Marty, sisters-in-law Judy Hillert and Debra Marty.
The Memorial Service for Tammy will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at the United Church of Christ, Neillsville, WI, with Lori Wirtz officiating. Visitation will take place from 9:00 am. until time of service. All are welcome for a luncheon to be served after. Tammy wanted this to be a celebration of her life with happiness. Through the tears let there be love and laughter to honor her!
