She enjoyed bowling for 60 years, playing sheepshead with the card club, occasional trips to the casino, her garden, flowers, all family holiday gatherings, her grandchildren’s sports, the Packers, Brewers, and Badgers.

She is survived by four daughters and three sons, Darlene (Jim) Marshall, Dawn (Ken) Lenz, Corrine (Vern) Breseman, Connie (Dan) Leonhardt, Patrick (Bev) Weigel, Lee Weigel and Donald (Roxan) Weigel. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren, four step grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and nine step great grandchildren.
