Romenesko, Mildred G. (nee Kindler)
Mildred G. Romenesko passed away peacefully Monday, January 4, 2010, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton after a short illness with her daughter by her side. Mildred was born September 20, 1916, to Christian F. and Josephine (Cotter) Kindler, Jr. in Kaukauna. The family moved to Combined Locks for a few years before building the family residence in Kaukauna. Mildred married Lloyd "Squeeze" Romenesko on September 25, 1937, and celebrated 54 years of marriage. During the last few years of her life, Mildred resided with her daughter and son-in-law in her childhood home.
Mildred loved flowers and gardening. She and Squeeze took great pride in their lawn and yard. Lloyd's specialty was gladiolas and begonias, while Mildred enjoyed propagating gloriosa daisies, mums, California poppies, phlox and, at one point, 120 feet of morning glories on a fence the depth of their lot. She truly had a green thumb and shared her abundance of seedlings and plants with neighbors and friends. She delighted in sharing bouquets of flowers with those who visited or had a special occasion to mark. When she had beautified her own yard as much as she could, she would take some of her spare plants to her daughter's house and plant them there, since Jolene had not inherited her mother's green thumb.
But Mildred's true source of pride and joy was her family. She and her husband spent many hours taking their daughter to dance lessons, music lessons, and attending school events. Her three grandsons, their wives, and four great-granddaughters were truly the light of her life, providing her with much laughter, love, and entertainment.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Jolene and Jack "John" Schaefer; her grandsons and their spouses: Kyle and Leona Schaefer, Oshkosh; Kevin and Jennifer Schaefer, Appleton; Travis and Tara Schaefer, Little Chute; and four great-granddaughters: Emma and Cora Schaefer, Oshkosh, and Alize and Lillian Schaefer, Little Chute. She is further survived by her husband's family, Mrs. Robert (Martha) Jacobs, Mrs. Edward (Germaine) St. Arnold, Mrs. B.F. (Frances) Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Marie) Powers, and Mrs. Mark (Mildred) Romenesko; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Lloyd "Squeeze"; an infant daughter, Marilyn Ann; her brother and sister-in-law, Robert and LaVerne Kindler; brothers-in-law: Mark "Spark" Romenesko, Leon "Butch" Romenesko, Orrin Romenesko, Monroe "Fat" Romenesko, Robert Jacobs, Edward St. Arnold, Bernard Hutton, and Kenneth Reinholz; sisters-in-law: Mrs. Lenore Romenesko, Mrs. Margaret Romenesko, Mrs. Mildred M. (Micke) Romenesko, and Mrs. Mildred (Kuehl) Romenesko.
Funeral Service for Mildred will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 8, 2010, at Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church, 804 Grignon St., Kaukauna. Friends may call on Thursday, January 7, 2010 from 4-8 p.m. at the Boettcher Family Funeral Home, 2401 Fieldcrest Dr., Kaukauna and again on Friday directly at church from 10 a.m. until the time of service.
The family would like to express their grateful appreciation to Mildred's physician, Teresa Lee, M.D.; her caretakers and the wonderful staff at St. Paul Home in Kaukauna; the kind and caring doctors, nurses, staff, and chaplain at St. Elizabeth Hospital; and Pastor Karl Schultz and Rev. Mark Luetzow of Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church, Kaukauna.
