Marshall Zweifel

"Marshall D. Zweifel" KINGSFORD- Marshall D. Zweifel, 83, formerly of 316 Mine St. Norway, went to be with the Lord on Thursday Dec. 30, 2004. He was born Feb. 19, 1921, in Cuba City, Wis., son of the late Fred and Rachel ( Ingwell) Zweifel. Marshall graduated from Cuba City High School in 1936. He married the former Lucille Pascoe on July 17, 1943 in York, S.C. They have been married 61 years. Early in life, he assisted a very beloved great uncle in the operation of his meat market and learned many phases of the meat industry. After serving during WWII in the United States Air Force from 1942-45 he returned to the area and moved to Marquette, where he became affiliated with the Northern Michigan Piggly Wiggly stores owned by his father, Fred Zweifel, and continued on in the meat operation. He continued in that capacity until 1956 at which time he accepted a position in sales with Swift & Co. of South St. Paul, Minn. For the next 30 years he worked for Swift & Co. at various locations in Wisconsin and Illinois, with his last assignment being in Iron Mountain. Marshall managed this area until he retired in 1986. A life member of the National Rifle Association, he so appreciated the beautiful Upper Peninsula, that provided him that special time to enjoy the outdoors with his grandchildren and family for hunting, fishing, crafts and taxidermy. He leaves his wife, Lucille, of Evergreen Heights Apartments in Kingsford; a daughter, Linda (Robert) Branback of Kingsford; three sons, Fred (Niki) Zweifel of Virginia City, Mont., James (Konni) Zweifel of Stafford, Va., and Gary Zweifel of Norway; five grandchildren, Jeannine (James) Grailer of Kingsford, Sara (Lorenzo) Noto of Murphys, California, James Zweifel Jr. of Schenectady, N.Y., and Nicholas and Kyle Zweifel of Norway; and three great- grandchildren, Jaime, Jessica and Justin Grailer of Kingsford. Marshall accepted Christ as his Savior in 1987 at a Billy Graham crusade. He was a member of Grace United Methodist Church in Norway and was a faithful believer who followed his Bible every day. Marshall was also a member of the Disabled American Veterans. He will once again be reunited with his dear mother, Rachel (Ingwell) Zweifel, who passed away when he was eight months old. Friends may call from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 3, at the Erickson-Rochon and Nash Funeral Home in Iron Mountain. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. Rev.
