In memory of Margaret Ashmann.

Margaret Jean Ashmann of Seymour, Wisconsin passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of August 17, 2025 at the age of 92. She was surrounded in her final days by her loving family, friends, and neighbors.

She was born on November 6, 1932 to Alvin and Vernice (Bunkelman) Abel. She was a member and regular attendee at Emmanuel Lutheran in Seymour where she met her late husband Paul Ashmann Jr. who she joined in marriage on May 12, 1951.

She operated a family dairy farm in the town of Oneida alongside her husband until his passing. After Paul's death, she began working as a housekeeper at Good Shepard Nursing Home in Seymour where she left a great impact on the residents and her coworkers many of whom became lifelong friends. After her retirement from Good Shepherd, she remained close with these friends and joined them for a monthly breakfast.

In her retirement years, she enjoyed being outside reading, putting together puzzles, gardening, visiting with neighbors and friends, playing board games with her family, and cooking for loved ones. Her determination kept her strong and independent throughout her life all the way to the end.

As a child she grew up on the family farm building a passion and love for farming and family. From a young child she was full of spirit and determination, which she carried with her through the years, sharing it with her family.

Germaine was united in marriage to the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Hock on May 30th, 1960, having celebrated 62 years together. They built a family and life on their farm in Isaar having farmed together for 55 years until they retired.

She was a woman of many talents and loved to share them with her family. She believed in hard work and the rewards that came with it, teaching her family about farming, gardening, cooking and canning to just list a few.

You could always count on seeing her alongside her son in a tractor at the farm working land or chopping corn or hay. She loved cooking and baking for her family and friends, which everyone enjoyed. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren, how blessed they all where to have her as a grandma. She knew the perfect recipe for a little bit of mischief and a lot of fun, creating lifelong memories.

After retirement if you didn't find her helping out on the farm, you could find her at the cabin. She enjoyed time out on the lake fishing with Dick and the dogs. She especially enjoyed time in her flowers or vegetable gardens. She loved to share her talents with anyone that needed help. After Dick passed away she enjoyed her dinner and lunch dates with her brother Don, family and friends. Germaine also enjoyed many nights watching the Green Bay Gamblers with Dick and friends. Anyone who knew Germaine knew she was always full of s***k and loved to have a good time. Germaine enjoyed time with her family the most.
