Mt. Pleasant – Marjorie E. (nee: Acklam) Rohner, age 95, passed away with family members at her side on Friday, December 18, 2015. Marge was born in the town of Mount Pleasant, Racine County on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1920 to Clarence and Emmeline (nee: Baker) Acklam. She grew up on a small family farm with her mother, father and brother, Tom. Marge attended Richard's grade school; graduated from St. Catherine's High School and Racine / Kenosha County (Normal) Teachers College; earned her undergraduate degree from Racine Dominican College; and, years later, earned her Master's from UW-Whitewater in the Gifted and Talented Program. On October 4, 1941 at Holy Innocents Episcopal Church, she was united in marriage to Henry Rohner. Marge taught in numerous Racine County area schools, spanning a period of 50 years. She began her teaching career in 1939 at Tucker School, a one room school house, where she taught grades 1-8 and would often build a fire on Sunday evenings so her students could be warm on Monday morning.

Marge was selected as Racine Unified District "Elementary Teacher of the Year" in 1989-90 and was inducted into the Southeastern Wisconsin Educators "Hall of Fame" on March 18, 1989.  Marge was presented with the Racine County Public Service Award in 1989 by the Racine County Sheriff's Department for her accomplishments in the field of education.
