DELAVAN – Marilyn B. Pfammatter, age 92, of Delavan passed away on Tuesday, December 29, 2020. She was born in Chicago, IL on April 1, 1928 to Matthew (Mike) and Mary (Harvey) Stair. She graduated from St. Bartholomew's in 1942 and Notre Dame High School in 1946. She belonged to the Figure Skating Club of Chicago and performed in shows and contests. She met Frederick B. Pfammatter, Sr. after the war and married him in 1948. They raised their 3 sons in Skokie, IL.
Marilyn's "happy place" was their lake house and boat in Turtle Lake, WI and when she retired from ITT Bell & Gossett in 1991, they moved to Delavan where they lived on the 4th hole of a golf course and she served her community by volunteering at St. Andrew's Church and was president of the Delavan Service League amongst other charitable activities.
She had many hobbies over the years in addition to ice skating including knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, counted cross stitch, golfing, playing the organ, bird and butterfly watching, reading, card playing, crosswords and sudoku and she loved watching her baseball and football. She rooted for her Chicago teams, the Cubbies and the Bears, unless of course, they were playing her Brewers or the Packers!
Marilyn is survived by her son Frederick B. Pfammatter, Jr. (spouse Loretto) of Vernon Hills, IL; Mike's wife, MaryJo (Calderone) Pfammatter, of Lake Geneva, WI; and Vic's wife, Sharon (Warshawsky) Pfammatter, of Lake Zurich, IL.
