Marianne La Belle

Marianne M. La Belle departed this world on 21 January 2021 finding peace at last.  Born in 1939, she grew up in Medford, WI, London England and graduated high school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, attended UW Madison, majoring in history.   A Registered Nurse, she had a career as a graduate of Milwaukee County General Hospital School of Nursing.  In 1969 she met Carson La Belle a “County” student nurse.  Soon after his graduation they were married and for the next 24 years she was a Navy wife.

Marianne enjoyed history, especially the history of England, her father was stationed in England near the end of WWII, she and another friend were known to skip school and explored all over London.  They had a particular interest in the many museums there.  She was an avid reader, an expert knitter, and adept at organizing and planning trips, arranging many worry-free vacations.  She was well liked by her friends and has kept in touch with them over the decades.  She was an animal lover and particularly liked (and spoiled) dogs.

She is survived by her husband, Carson-Verne; son David (Donna), Soldiers Grove; daughter Meghan (Mark) Derby, United Kingdom; five grandchildren: Kelly, Andrew, Kimberly, Sarah, and Angie; and four great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Urquhart Meeter and Barbara Conrad Meeter; two brothers, Michael and Patrick Meeter.

Marianne will be dearly missed by all who knew her and especially by her family.  She was always there for us.

Private services and interment will be held at a later date at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spooner.
