Edna E. Organ, 90, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2025, at Meadowbrook in Chetek. She was born January 30, 1935, in Almena, WI to Charles and Hattie (Zielke) Becker.

She was married on December 1, 1956, to Ernest Cimfl who preceded her in death on August 20, 1974. After Ernie’s passing, her life changed dramatically. She had to learn to drive, raise her daughters, and how to support her family. Her character was molded by this experience and became a stronger woman. She then was married on June 24, 1978, to Marvin Organ who preceded her in death on December 15, 2015.

Edna was never afraid of a hard day’s work. She helped Ernie on the farm bailing hay, milking cows, and any other jobs that needed doing. Even after working in the field and barn, she still made sure to have dinner ready.

Edna enjoyed baking many delicious treats for her family such as cinnamon rolls and breads. Later in life, she enjoyed reading a good book and going for the occasional walk. Her faith was a driving force in how she lived her life and provided her with peace and solace in the recent years. This was especially true after the passing of her sister, Dorothy. Edna truly missed her.

She is survived by her two daughters, Linda (Duane) Meinen of Brooklyn Park, MN, Joan Romanowski of Cumberland; grandchildren: Jennifer (Steven) Lach, Melissa Meinen, Joshua Romanowski, and Jenna Romanowski; great grandchildren: Jonah and Levi Lach; two brothers: Alfred (Joyce) Becker of Almena, Roger (Barb) Becker of Barron; two sisters, Elvera (Dave) Morgan of Rice Lake, Dorleen Fladwood of Turtle Lake, WI; many nieces, nephews, and other family and friends. Edna was preceded in death by both her husbands: Ernest Cimfl and Marvin Organ; two children, Marion and Wayne; two sisters: Dorothy Severson and Eleanor Moran; three brothers, Ernest, Walter and Richard; and her parents, Charles and Hattie Becker.

Funeral services will be held at 11 AM Monday, June 2, 2025, at First Lutheran Church in Barron, WI with Pastor Ron Mathews officiating. Burial will be in East Cumberland Cemetery, Cumberland, WI. Pallbearers are Jennifer Lach, Melissa Meinen, Joshua Romanowski, and Jenna Romanowski. Honorary pallbearers are Jonah Lach and Levi Lach. Visitation will be from 10-11 AM at the church.

Edna’s family would like to thank Marshfield Hospice for their help and compassion during this difficult time.
