ROCHESTER â Marian Oldenberg never forgot the children of Racine County, and now they will never forget her.
Rochester village officials have approved plans to honor the longtime school librarian by erecting a park bench in her memory at Rochester Commons Park.
Funded by private donations, the bench will be engraved with an image and a message memorializing Oldenberg in recognition of the many years she spent as a librarian in the Waterford school district.
âItâs quite an honor,â said Oldenbergâs daughter, Cathy Street.
The park bench will be displayed for the public in Rochester Commons Park, which is located at 208 W. Springs St., next to both Rochester Village Hall and the Rochester Public Library.

Several Racine County armored law enforcement vehicles and officers carrying long guns were in the area surrounding the Rochester Public Library and Rochester Village Hall Friday afternoon for what the Racine County Sheriff s Office described as a critical event at the time. It was later revealed that three bodies were found in a home. When deputies breached the home in the morning and heard a gunshot, an hourslong lockdown took place. SCOTT WILLIAMS,
