Marilyn Kay was born April 13, 1937 in Platteville, Wisconsin, the daughter of Robert and Thelma (Hore) Bellmeyer. She grew up on the family farm near Platteville. She attended Platteville High School, graduating with the Class of 1955. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Platteville. While at college, Kay met the love of her life, Harold Andresen who was working in Platteville as a radio announcer. Harold was drafted into the US Army in February 1959, and they were married later that year on August 14, 1959. Kay and Harold lived in Germany before returning to live and work on the Andresen family farm near Chadwick. Kay and Harold raised four children. They celebrated fifty-seven years of marriage. Her family is thankful for her gift of care and sacrifice to raise their children, especially for the extra care for Randy and Rodney, who had the challenge of living with muscular dystrophy.
Kay was a member of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chadwick, where she volunteered her time and talent. She also volunteered at the Chadwick Library. Kay was involved with her children in 4H among many other activities. She enjoyed sewing, scrapbooking, puzzles, gardening—especially sweet corn, traveling with Harold. Kay and Harold created the Andresen Ag Scholarship, along with the Andresen Memorial Scholarship as a way to honor Randy and Rodney. These scholarships have benefited many Carroll County graduates.
Kay will be dearly missed by her husband, Harold; two children, Pam (Paul) Slagh of Grandville, Michigan and Alan Andresen of Rio, Illinois; three grandchildren, Brett and Dylan Slagh and Stephen Andresen; and one brother, Robert (Karen) Bellmeyer of Platteville, Wisconsin. Kay is preceded in death by two sons, Randy in 1984, and Rodney in 1985, who both passed away at the age of 23 due to complications of Muscular Dystrophy.
