Margaret ‘Maggie’ Roder Margaret A. “Maggie” Roder, 80, a life-long resident of Loyal, passed away on the evening of Oct. 21, 2019, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield. Margaret Ann Roder was born on May 19, 1939, to Carl and Gertrude (nee Hauser) Roder. As a toddler, she lived for a short while in Milwaukee while her father worked at a steel company during the World War II war effort. The family returned to Loyal in 1945 and remained there for the rest of their lives. Maggie graduated from Loyal High School in 1958. She was employed at Figi’s in Marshfield, and retired from Fiskars in Spencer in 2004. It’s doubtful she ever missed listening to or watching a Packer game, and the summers found her fishing in nearby lakes. She became an expert crafter with crochet hook and knitting needles. By the end of 2018, she had knitted more than 1,000 pairs of mittens that she donated to the churches and other charities every December. Her dear friends will always remember her for the beautiful crocheted lace cloths and quilts she gave them. Maggie made the very generous donation of her body to the UW-Madison School of Medicine, saying “With all that’s wrong with me, they should learn something!” Her cremains will eventually be returned to family for burial with her parents at St. Anthony’s Cemetery in Loyal. A memorial gathering to celebrate her life is being planned for a later date in early 2020 (date and place to be announced). Maggie leaves behind her close cousins: Joan (Pete) Lindner of Loyal, Marianne (Jim) Walker of Nelsonville, and Ruth Ann (Gary) Timperley of Hay Springs, Neb.; as well as many close friends in the surrounding Loyal area.

Robert ‘Ribbie’ Hinker After seven months of valiantly battling cancer and liver disease, Robert “Ribbie” Hinker, 70, Greenwood, left us on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019, to go shake hands in the heavens. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwood. Rev. Leo Johnson will officiate, and burial will follow in St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church, on Friday, Dec. 6, from 4-8 p.m., and on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until time of service. Robert Leo Hinker was born on Sept. 1, 1949, in Marshfield, to Barbara (Pink) and Sylvester Hinker. He attended St. Mary’s Catholic School and graduated from Greenwood High School in 1967. Continuing their high school romance, Ribbie married his love, Donna R. Hefner, on Sept. 25, 1971, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwood. Ribbie loved all sports, specifically softball games and the Chicago Bears. His love of the game, regardless of sport, was then spent enjoying watching his grandsons and nieces and nephews on the field. He truly treasured all the memories made with his family and friends. Being a “people person”, Ribbie held various sales positions, exemplifying that with most currently being part of the Courtesy Truck and Auto “family” in Thorp. No matter where Rib worked or played, he always brought a special hometown proud attitude, and you were greeted with a handshake, smile and made to feel welcome as if he had known you his entire life. Ribbie is survived by and will be dearly missed by his wife, Donna, of Greenwood; his children: Amy (Shawn) Standiford of Eau Claire, and Justin (Lori) Hinker of Excelsior Minn.; five grandsons: Storm and Sawyer Standiford, Maxwell and Taye Hinker, and Kyle Chmela; his siblings: JoAnn (Lester) Kaiser of Marshfield, Gene (Marilyn) Hinker of Loyal, and Allen (Sandra) Hinker of Greenwood; his sistersin- law: Marlene Hinker and Carolyn Hinker, both of Greenwood, Corrine Hinker of Marshfield, and Audrey Hinker of Wausau; his brother-in-law: Tom (Susan) Hefner of Oconomowoc; along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, other relatives and friends. Sadly, Ribbie was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Larry, Jerry, Jim, Bill, Francis and Ron; a sister-in-law: Sharon Hinker; a brother-in-law: James Hefner; a niece: Roxanne Hinker; and a nephew: Shawn Hinker.

, Ronald Stasek Ronald James Stasek, 79, Bismarck, Ark., passed away on Monday, Nov. 18, 2019, after a lengthy illness. Funeral services were held at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Saturday, Nov. 30, in Caddo Valley, Ark. Brother David Overturf officiated. Ronald James Stasek was born on July 27, 1940, in Hoard Township in Clark County to Paul and Dorothy (nee Roohr) Stasek. Ron was married to Sue Kuehn and they were blessed with a son, Mark. Ron married Lois Buker on June 15, 1979, and she brought her children Michael and Sherry Vollrath to the union. They were married more than 40 years. They moved to Arkansas in July 1992. After many late night sessions with their daughter-in-law answering their Bible questions and studying the Bible with their spiritual parents, Frank and Audrey Smith, they had their “aha!” moment and were baptized together on March 28, 1999 as Jehovah’s Witnesses. They were members of the Caddo Valley congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Thanks to the Malvern Literacy Program, Ron was able to learn to read better so he could delve into God’s Word for himself. Ron delighted in being outdoors, especially fishing and hunting with Lois. He adored all his fur babies, but nothing brought him more pleasure than being with his family, especially his grandchildren. His memory will be cherished by his wife, Lois; his sons, Mark (Sarah) Stasek of Eau Claire and Mike (Leslie) Vollrath of Bismarck, Ark.; his daughter, Sherry (Brian) Green of Unity; one sister, Gaymond Laabs of Shawano; nine grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and nieces, nephews and many wonderful friends.
