Marilyn Jean Lauterbach (nee Peebles)
Marilyn Jean Lauterbach (nee Peebles), age 78, of Sussex, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, June 25, 2016.
Marilyn is survived by her loving husband of 32 years, Kenneth; her children Jerry (Janice) Stricker, James (Gina) Stricker and Mary Ann Barnett; her stepchildren Jay (Lori) Lauterbach and Jean Lauterbach (John Illian); her siblings Bill (Allene) Peebles and Donna (Don) Christenson; her grandchildren Shane Stricker, Michael, Bethany, Jonathan and Nathan Lauterbach, Jon and Matthew Aulgur and Jesse Illian; and her great-grandchildren Adelyn Lauterbach and Kirsa Jankowski.
Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Frances Peebles. Marilyn was a member of Sussex United Methodist Church.
Marilyn graduated from Oconomowoc High School in 1956. She was a past honor queen of Job's Daughters and a member of Toastmaster's International.
She was also a certified professional secretary for over 20 years and retired in 1996 from MagnaTech Electric, Waukesha. At this point, they began spending winters in Sun City, Ariz.
Marilyn and Ken traveled throughout the U.S. in their RV, including doing mission work with Roving Volunteers in Christ's Service from 2001 to 2009. She enjoyed nature, especially birding throughout her life, and was an active member of several bird clubs.
She and Ken met while dancing and continued to lead an adventurous life filled with boating, square dancing, flying, sky diving, motorcycling, skiing, scuba diving and golfing — she even shot a hole-in-one!
Services will be held on Saturday, July 2, at 11:00am at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 800 Lake Drive, Oconomowoc (off of Highway Z). Visitation for family and friends will start at 9:00 am with a burial to follow at Glenview Memorial Gardens.

State boosts funding for Ipswich Regional Education Consortium
Member for Ipswich Jennifer Howard has today announced funding for an innovative new Ipswich Regional Education Consortium campaign to capitalise on rapid growth in the international education industry.
Ms Howard said as part of a joint initiative with Ipswich City Council, Ipswich Regional Education Consortium would receive a $10,000 grant to better market Ipswich to prospective students.
"International education generates about $4.37 billion for Queensland's economy each year. But we know this figure will only grow in the future," she said.
"More visitors than ever before are visiting Ipswich to see what we have to offer. We also have some of the best education institutions in the country - it makes sense.
"That's why we're investing in international education in Ipswich. We're making sure Ipswich Regional Education Consortium has the funding it needs to grow our international education sector in years to come."
Tourism Industry Development Minister and Ministerial Champion for International Education Kate Jones said the funding for Ipswich Regional Education Consortium announced today was part of a wider Study Queensland campaign.
Ms Jones said Study Queensland's 'Start here. Go anywhere' campaign was devised after months of market research to discover what motivates students to choose Queensland above other states.
"More students from across the globe are choosing to travel to Queensland every year and our international education industry has grown by around 12 per cent in the last year.
"But we know we can do more to support the student experience and ensure sustained growth in the future. This campaign is all about capitalising on our great foundation to increase our share of the international education market.
"International education currently supports around 19,000 jobs across the state. With this new campaign, we hope to grow this industry to support an extra 6800 jobs by 2026.
"That's why we're investing more than $25 million in this space to grow our international education sector."

Apparently last week's episode was a doozy. The housewives were fighting. Surprise! And they were in public. And they were wearing heels and dresses that made their cleavage look like age-spotted sacks of jellyfish. They have an uncanny ability to move their necks and wag a boldly painted acrylic finger in the faces of their "friends" without an ounce of champagne sloshing over the sides of their crystal flutes.

I developed a love affair with the Space Needle and discontentment with camping, socks with sandals, and Tibetan prayer flags. Overall, I was happy. Even the old journals I kept are embarrassingly angst-free.

I would like to dedicate this blog post to my dear friend Kirsten Llewellyn who is currently making her departure from this world after suffering a series of strokes. She is caught between light and dark, and as a result I also feel caught between light and dark.
It was 6 weeks ago now that the Open Spirit group met for our second weekend together, so this post is coming later than I would like, if only for the sake of my memory. However, I feel a deep sense of meaning in writing this post in the context of what is happening, with a more real reflection on the themes of our weekend which were "Bright and Dark Knowledge" and "Faith". What is the knowledge I am procuring from this period of darkness, unknowing and loss? In the present I feel it is a knowledge of the body, an experience only my body can make sense of when tears are able to flow. My head confuses the situation and only distances me from the reality of what is really happening here. I wonder whether this dark knowledge will one day transform into something articulated in wisdom – and perhaps that is what bright knowledge is. Moving to the theme of faith, mine has been tested this week – I have a very real sense of how fear is the antithesis of faith, and drives out any possibility of trusting that all is held in Something Bigger. As the fear has subsided, faith is being felt again, faith that Kirsten's life and my life and all life is held in Love, and that just as Kirsten's body and spirit will transform, the grief of all those she has left behind will also transform.
Moving from present to past, our Open Spirit journey took us to the beginnings of human manipulation of the landscape – to the Neolithic period, and beyond into the Copper, Bronze and Iron age. While we cannot know the minds of these early humans, studying their impacts on the Earth that still remain is a window through which our tools for interpretation can look. It seems that expressions of a faith in something sacred at the heart of life date right back to these initial imprints on the land. It is deemed very likely that some of the ancient human sites we have discovered from this time were used for ceremonial purposes, and as such are known today as 'sacred sites'. In all the different ways that the sacred was expressed or interpreted by these early humans, and likewise by the many different faith groups today, I feel united by the flame at the centre that lights up the darkness and draws in our gaze.
This brings me to the second part of our weekend – our Holding Sacred Space Workshop. "Faith" was put into the question of how you hold space for people who might have differing faiths – what is it to be a group of people meeting on shared enquiry and shared practice rather than on shared belief. We have to begin from the premise that there is no absolute truth, that one person's reality may be starkly different to another's, and how one person witnesses that reality depends upon perspective which depends upon a whole host of factors. When truth is held lightly in this way, there is a greater spaciousness that allows not only respect for other truths but room for other truths to interact and speak to our own. I am reminded of a quote from Rudolf Steiner saying that…
"One does not attain to knowledge by insisting absolutely on one's own point of view, but through willingness to immerse oneself in alien spiritual streams." (The Essential Steiner, p.16)
As the day progressed, a group with differing opinions manifested with gritty and sometimes uncomfortable discussion ensuing. However, with the intention of dynamic and open enquiry, the space felt held and safe.
This intent has huge implications for situations of today, without even needing to mention recent examples of religious violence. It is a radical and much needed move; from dogma to enquiry, and from compliance to practice.
