ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ)- A Green Bay woman is the newest member of the Packers Fan Hall of Fame.
The announcement of Marquerite “Mugs” Bachhuber’s victory in fan voting was made by Packers CEO and President Mark Murphy.
Mugs was nominated by her daughter and said this was unexpected.
“I’m 87-years old, and I have loved the Green Bay Packers my whole life. It’s astonishing to think that this is happening to me.”
Bachhuber was awarded the prize package at Lambeau Field Tuesday.
While she did her best to attend Packer games, she said the desire to have a large family, limited her chances of going to many games.
“I had eight kids in ten years so I was a wee bit busy” she said. “I really did not miss a game on TV or on radio.”
Bachhuber receives four club seats to a 2018 Packers home game, a $500 Packers Pro Shop gift certificate, a trip for two to a 2018 Packers road game and a one-year subscription to Packers Plus. She resides with other Packer fans at Woodside Manor in Green Bay. She said Packer fans are one of a kind.
“It is just wonderful, it is positive and it is good.”
Bachhuber says her favorite Packer is Aaron Rodgers because he is a good example to the younger generation.
