Lyn Marsolf

Lyn Gold Marsolf, 52, of Garwood, died suddenly in the early morning hours of Monday, Oct. 1, 2007.

She was born on June 28, 1955 in El Campo. Lyn is best remembered for her ability to appreciate the simple things in life. Quite simply the two happiest days of her life were celebrating the marriage of her son, T.J. and Christie and the birth of her grandson, R.J. Lyn was a good-hearted, caring and spiritual person who led a private life. She delighted in the sunshine and outdoors, much preferring working with her horse Lacey to spending time indoors. The contagiousness of her laugh often brought anyone around her real pleasure.

She is survived by her son, Travis J. Buzek and wife Christie of Cypress; mother, Clara Buxkamper Gold of Garwood; sisters, LaVerne Haller and husband Ron of Corona, Calif., Charlyne Bruce of Verona, Wis. and Gretchen Wilkerson and husband Howard of Eagle Lake; brother, Ronnie Gold and wife Reneau of New Taiton; grandchildren, Sydney, Kayla and R.J.; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, Edwin E. Gold.

Pallbearers were Jason Berry, Brent Gold, Clint Gold, Stephen Haller, Daniel Wittig and Chad Fucik.

Honorary pallbearers were Michelle McKenzie and Tiffany Wittig.

A prayer service and Rosary were held on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Henneke Funeral Home in Columbus and a Mass of Christian burial was held on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Nada with the Rev. Joe Vrana officiating and cousins, Father Paul Raaz and Father Gregory Korenek concelebrating. Burial followed at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Nada.
