Mrs. Stampfli was born Jan. 16, 1936, a daughter of the late
Walter and Lena (Elmer) Zweifel. She grew up on the family farm in the town of
Montrose in Dane County. Her early education was in a one-room school, taught
by the same teacher for all eight years. She graduated from Belleville High
School in 1954.

Shortly after graduation, she enrolled at the Madison School
of Cosmetology, graduating in 1955 as a licensed beautician.

After working many years in local salons, she opened her
Ken-Mar-Lan salon in New Glarus in the fall of 1967. The salon was sold to one
of her employees in 1975, and she retired as a homemaker.

She became an avid gardener and seamstress, selling
vegetables and many kinds of perennials, along with craft items at various
farmers’ markets.

She was married to Ken Stampfli Aug. 11, 1956, at the United
Church of Christ in Belleville.

They lived in Newport News, Va., while he was in the U.S.
Army, then returned to Belleville, where she lived until moving to West Bend,
then to Eden Prairie, Minn., and finally to Bancroft, due to her husband’s work
assignments.

Stampfli, Stevens Point; two sisters, Pauline Jaeger, West Bend, and Ruth
Zweifel, Belleville; three brothers, Wilbert C. Zweifel, Evansville, Frederick
