Marjorie Hoehne

Marjorie E. Hoehne, 91, of Jackson passed away Monday, March 2, 2020, at Monticello House.

She was born Dec. 30, 1928, in Tilsit to Robert L. and Martina Peetz Fluegge. She was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Tilsit and also attended the church's former grade school. She was a 1948 graduate of Jackson High School and then obtained a teaching certificate from the former Southeast Missouri Teachers College.

Marjorie was an elementary teacher at Lutheran schools in Altenburg, Missouri, Friedheim and Shawneetown. She made her church home at Trinity Lutheran Church in Shawneetown, where she was active in the Ladies Aid, quilted and enjoyed making apple butter.

Marjorie and Wilhelm "Bill" Wachter were married May 24, 1952. Bill's employment in road construction often kept him away from home, so Marjorie sometimes traveled with him. Her skill as a seamstress made it easy for her to find work in the communities where they made their temporary homes. They had been married 26 years when Bill passed away Nov. 11, 1978.

On June 20, 1981, Marjorie married Curt "Pat" Hoehne. Together, they enjoyed traveling, fishing, dancing and playing cards with friends. They had been married 22 years when Pat passed away Dec. 3, 2003.

Loving survivors include two brothers, Milford (the late Judy) Fluegge of Cape Girardeau, formerly of Millersville, and Orville (Loretta) Fluegge of Jackson; two sisters-in-law, Betty (the late Charles) Fluegge of Gordonville and Darlene (the late Byron) Fluegge of Jackson; many nieces and nephews; and two stepdaughters, Melanie Gimpel of South Carolina and Rebecca Anderson of Washington.

Marjorie was preceded in death by two spouses; her parents; three siblings, Evelyn (Gene) Moore and Charles and Byron Fluegge; a former brother in-law, Charles Ulrich; and two former sisters-in-law, Millie Fluegge and Carolyn Myer.

Visitation will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. today at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson and from 9:30 a.m. to service time Thursday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Shawneetown.

Funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the church, with the Rev. Virgil Kelm officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
