Marvin John Herrmann, age 91, went to his Heavenly home on Wednesday October 7, 2026 in Neenah, WI.

Marvin was born August 12, 1935, the son of the late Gotthelf and Edna (Boettcher) Herrmann.

On October 26, 1956 Marvin was united in marriage to his favorite dance partner, Sharon Aschenbrenner. She proceeded him in death on July 28, 2017.

Marvin was a lifelong member of St. James Lutheran Church, where his faith remained an important part of his life. He was an alumnus of St. James Day School and took great pride in serving as an usher, a role he began in the seventh grade. His longtime commitment to the church reflected his deep faith and the special place St. James held in his heart.

Marvin and Sharon farmed and raised their four children in the Town of Richmond. In addition to farming, Marvin worked for Werbelow’s Beverage for 30 years, delivering pop. He truly loved his job and often spoke fondly of his time there. After leaving Werbelow’s Beverage he went to work at Equity, where he happily pumped gas and took on many other tasks until his retirement.

Beyond farming and work, Marvin and Sharon shared a passion for dancing and fishing. They spent many Saturdays at area dance halls, polka dancing the night away. Marvin took great pride in the trophies they won together and in the 50 years they spent on the dance floor at the Shawano County Fairgrounds. From helping build and maintain the dance floor to enjoying countless hours dancing on it. A great joy that may have surpassed their love of dancing was babysitting some of their great grandchildren in retirement.
