Notes - Adeline H. Rusch, born October 28, 1906, age 105 went to be with Our Lord on July 23, 2012. Adeline was born in Hollandtown, WI to the late Peter and Cornelia (Speel) Hagens. She lived the majority of her life in Milwaukee, 2336 North 47th Street until she moved to the St. Paul Elder Services Villa in Kaukauna in 2006. Adeline was united in marriage to Howarth J. Rusch on September 16, 1933 at St. Francis Catholic Church in Hollandtown. Adeline worked as a nurse and a nanny in Northeast Wisconsin, then worked in military hospitals accompanying her husband during WWII. Her wonderful old age of 105 can be attributed to her healthy lifestyle. She grew, prepared and ate organic foods long before many people knew what the word meant. Grapes, raspberries, peaches, celery, tomatoes, lettuce, endive, peppers and herbs grew in her tiny backyard, many grown from seed and fertilized with leaves and table scrap compost. Adeline was an active member and secretary of the Milwaukee Organic Gardening Club and Cactus Club. She never drove a car so got plenty of exercise walking or taking a bus where ever she went.
Adeline is survived by four grandchildren, Adam, Dominic and Angela Kolp of Milwaukee and Sarah Kolp of California. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Cornelia (Speel) Hagens, Husband, Howarth J. Rusch, daughter, Karen Kolp, sister, Estella and brother-in-law, Henry Fahrbach.
Funeral services for Adeline will be at 2:30 p.m. at the St. Paul Elder Services Chapel, 312 E. 14th St., Kaukauna on Friday, July 27, 2012. Family and friends will be received at the chapel from 1:30 p.m. until the time of service. www.boettcherfamilyfuneral.com
A special thanks to the St. Paul Elder Services Staff and Hospice for the wonderful care of this centurion for the past six years and at the end of her remarkable 105 years on earth she now rests joyfully with Our Lord forever.
