Mrs. Marily Ann Wery Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Marily (Christensen) Wery, 63, Green Bay, was surrounded by her beloved family and friends as she entered the world of those who have gone before her, Saturday afternoon, June 18th. Marily was born to the late Walter and Lois (Hinz) Christensen July 9, 1952 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She grew up in Milwaukee and moved to Boston as a young adult where she worked several years as the Manager of Gary’s Restaurant. She loved Boston life and had many friends there, but the adventurous Marily left Boston and moved to Green Bay in 1989 to raise her family. She worked several years at Copps as a Retail Marketing Manager. While working there she had a weekly television appearance on Channel 11 featuring a recipe of the week. She later worked as Marketing Manager for Cousins Subs until health issues prevented her from working outside the home. Yes, Marily had numerous health issues for the past 15 years of her life, but that didn’t stop her from living life to the fullest. On December 31, 2005 Marily married her soulmate and love of her life, Ken Wery. She lived her life lovingly, reaching out to everyone and enjoying numerous friendships. She was the hub of her neighborhood, and she enjoyed hosting planned parties as well as informal get-togethers. She was an excellent cook and had a flair for decorating. She was also a caregiver, having invited her grandmother “Nanny” and later her brother Randy Christensen, into her home when they needed health care. Family was the focus of Marily’s life. Her daughter and later her daughter’s husband and their children were the center of her life. She was the delightful grandmother who spent time with her grandchildren on a daily basis. Marily is survived by her husband Ken, her daughter Megan Huerta, Megan’s husband Miguel, and three grandchildren, Adrian, Angelise, and Azrael. She is further survived by her brother Chris (Amanda) Christensen; her first husband and father of their daughter, Harry Christensen; brother-in-law James (Jeannie) Wery; stepsons Todd (Brandy), Jason (Kristina), Ben, Jon (Katie), and Nate (Maureen); step-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Lois and brother Randy. It was Marily’s wish not to memorialize her life with a funeral. Instead, her wish was for family and friends to celebrate her life with her while still here. She was granted that wish; her numerous friends and family members were welcomed company in her final weeks of her life. The family wishes to thank nurses Val and Jessica from Aurora Hospice for their wonderful and loving care for Marily in her final days.
