MARLYN ARNDT

Marlyn Paul Arndt, of Neenah, age 65, passed away on Saturday, June 25th, after a courageous battle with cancer.  He was born September 11, 1950, in Neenah, the second child to Robert and Phyllis Arndt.  Marlyn married his high school sweetheart, Linda Lee Haufe, on December 7, 1968, in Neenah.  They were married 46 years.  Marylyn lived his entire life in Neenah.

 Marlyn loved hunting and fishing on his land in Saxeville with his sons, brothers and father.  He enjoyed working his vegetable garden, especially the many tomato plants he put in every year.

 Marlyn was a very dedicated worker and took his job very seriously.  He loved his job at the Neenah Foundry and he retired after 46 years of employment only because of his declining health.

 He was preceded in death by his wife, Linda, in 2014; a son, Brian; his mother, Phyllis; his father-in-law, Morgan; a sister, Carrie; and a sister-in-law, Wendy.

 Survivors include his two sons: Eric and Todd, both of Neenah; a grandson, Caleb, of Neenah; a granddaughter, Riley, of Oshkosh; his father, Robert, of Neenah; two brothers: Walter (Susan), of Mountain Home, AR, Arno (Amy), of Neenah; two sisters: Lana (Dan) Steinike, Loretta (Darryl) Schmidt, both of Oshkosh; his mother-in-law, Jean Haufe and a sister-in-law, both of Saxeville.  He is further survived by numerous nieces and nephews and his canine companions, Dillon and Otis.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 PM on Thursday, June 30, 2016, at Neenah's Westgor Funeral Home, with Rev. Paul Holte officiating.  The visitation will be held from 2:00 PM until the hour of service.  Cremation has already taken place.  Should relative or friends wish to remember Marlyn with a memorial, contributions may be sent to the Humane Society of the American Cancer Association.

 The family would like to thank all of the staff at the Hematology and Oncology Center for helping Marlyn with the end of his journey, with dignity and respect.
