Marie J. Bash

She was born on July 21, 1946, in Chicago, to the late John and Evelyn (Hansen) Steger. On Oct. 10, 1987, Marie was married to David Bash. He preceded her in death on March 6, 2008.

Marie was an extremely loving and patient woman. Her children were her entire world. She had no favorites and each of them could do no wrong in her eyes. When Marie’s health was better, she enjoyed reading and riding her bike. She also enjoyed watching golf, watching her stories, and occasionally working in a bit of gaming. Marie will be remembered for her golden heart and gentle touch.

Marie will be missed by her six children, Mary Yott (Trent Pounders), Joe Yott (Lisa Schuls), Jeanette Yott, Guy Yott, David (Elizabeth) Bash, and Matt Childers (fiance, Sabre Comeaux); several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; three siblings, Phil (Flora) Steger, Nancy Steger and Rob Steger; and many other family and friends.

In addition to her husband and parents, Marie is preceded in death by a son, John Childers; her first husband, Jerrold Yott; and a sister, Janet Dolatowski.

Visitation will be from 1 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 18, at Evangelical Covenant Church: 120 O’Dill Dr. in Norway, with Rev. Jim Danielson officiating the funeral service at 2 p.m.

Marie’s children would like to thank her sister, Nancy, for taking care of her for the last few years.
