Racine – Robert Edward Marske, age 70, passed away at his home on Saturday, July 20, 2024 after a brave struggle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, an extremely rare neurodegenerative disorder that Bob was diagnosed with in 2018.

Bob was born in Beloit, WI on February 19, 1954 to the late Milton and Alice (nee: Gaulrapp) Marske. After graduating from Beloit High School, Bob went to work for the Milwaukee Railroad and Soo Line Railroad for 17 years as a control operator until accepting a position with Milwaukee Metro Auto Auction for the next 30 years, from where he retired.

On August 3, 2002, Bob was united in marriage with the love of his life, MonaLisa Delores (nee: Price). They are proud members of Christian Faith Fellowship Church. Bob & MonaLisa enjoyed visiting various casinos and playing a good game of Texas Hold’em. Bob also had a hobby of polishing rocks in which he would give to MonaLisa for her to make into jewelry. They truly were made for each other. Additionally, Bob liked to play golf and watch golf tournaments on TV.

Surviving are his loving wife, MonaLisa Marske; daughter, Kendall Jones; grandchildren, Jocelyn and Anthony Fair; 3 great-grandchildren; brother, Don (Joan) Marske; sisters, Judy Zizza and Pat (Randy) Maybe; mother-in-law, Geraldine Price; brother-in-law, Paul Price; sisters-in-law, Deborah Price and Carma Barker; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his son, Kevin Cushenberry; father-in-law, Lawrence Price; sisters-in-law, Phoebe Brown, Kathy Watson and Annie Price; and brothers-in-law, Noconno Price and Kalvin Barker.

A Memorial Service will be celebrated on Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 12:00 noon in Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home with Rev. Willie Scott officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Thursday from 11 am – 12 noon. The service will be video recorded and uploaded to Bob’s obituary on this website the day after the funeral.

  4. Melissa Smith says

    For you Bob, I pray for peace…I came to know you only after you were deep in your struggle with your disorder and to some it may have appeared on the surface as if the sickness was winning the fight – know I was not fooled. You are a true testament to what real inner strength is. You never allowed your disorder to cast any shadow upon the light in your heart and to me and so many others that in itself was courageous. To wake up each day knowing that the cards are stacked against you, but still thankful for the gift of the day itself is something that so many of fail to do on the daily. You have made an invaluable mark on my life and will forever be a hero in my heart & mind. ❤️
    And for you Miss Mona (one of the strongest people I know) – know I’ve got you always!!
    Much love ❤️ ❤️❤️

Testimonials

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
