      Lorraine Nussbaum, "Winkenwerder," 89, Hortonville, passed away peacefully, with her children at her side, on Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, at St. Joseph Residence, New London. Lorraine was born on July 11, 1920, in the Town of Greenville, the daughter of Joseph and Catherine (Seiif) Beschta. On Aug. 24, 1940, she married Wilbur Winkenwerder and resided in Medina until moving to Hortonville in 1971. Her first husband, Wilbur Winkenwerder, preceded her in death on July 22, 1962. On March 4, 1976, she married Wilbur "Pete" Nussbaum. He preceded her in death on April 15, 2005.

      She had been employed at the Hortonville Canning Factory, Campbell's Department Store in Appleton, and retired from Wire Products of Hortonville after 17 years. She was a life-long member of SS. Peter & Paul Catholic Church and over a 50 year member of the Christian Women's Society. She loved to cook and bake for her family and friends. Her freezer was always full of "goodies."

She is further survived by many special nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

      Besides her parents and husbands, Lorraine was preceded in death by brothers and sisters, Art (Helen) Beschta, Elmer (Dorothy) Beschta, Adeline (Sylvester) Giesen and Ella (Bob) Griesbach; and a great-grandson, Evan Winkenwerder.
