Mary C Gehring, 57, of Wausau, passed away Thursday June 9 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital after a brief
but courageous battle with cancer. Mary was born on November 3, 1964, to Milton Teige and Beverly
Jensen. She was known for her spunky attitude and kind heart. Mary had many hobbies over the years.
Some of her favorites were fishing, camping with friends and family, riding horses, bowling league,
Nascar, watching the Packers, socializing with friends, and spoiling her grandchildren. She was a very
hard worker. Despite not needing to, she continued to work as much as she could while undergoing her
treatment. She enjoyed what she did and loved the people she worked with. She most recently did
book-keeping for Jerry’s Music in Wausau. She spent many years living in Merrill and met many friends
there. She worked for several years at Weinbrenner Shoe Company in Merrill.
Mary is survived by her Parents Beverly (Robert) Jensen of Aniwa, WI and Milton (Debbie) Teige of
Ironwood, MI; her siblings, Mike Teige, Chris Teige, Lisa (Nathan) Westeen, Scott Teige, and Shawn
Teige; her daughters, Alison Quinn, Rachel (Paul) Peterson, and Melissa (Jordyn) Dietzler all of Merrill;
her grandchildren Henry, Howard, and Elaine, and her dear friends Robin Ehlert and Patrick Breihan.
As per her wishes there will be no formal public service. Her daughters would like to send a special
thank you to Robin and Pat for helping to care for Mary and for being such great friends. John J.
