She was born on June 3, 1937 in Hilbert to the late Oscar and Marie (Maile) Plate. Rachel was united in marriage to Duane Fietzer 68 ½ years ago, on May 11, 1957 in Hilbert, WI. Rachel lived life filled with faith, joy, and the kind of everyday sweetness that made everyone who knew her feel at home, quite literally, as she always had a dessert waiting, no matter the day or the season. In her younger years, she and her twin sister, Ruby, filled their church with harmony as members of the choir. Church remained a steady and cherished part of her life, a place where her faith and her generous spirit could shine. Rachel was a Milwaukee Brewers fan but she never missed an opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren in their sporting events from the sidelines. Their games were some of her happiest moments, and she was always their proudest supporter. After retiring from Thrivent Financial travel was a great adventure she shared with her husband, Duane. Together they explored the United States from coast to coast and even journeyed to Norway, creating memories that became treasured stories. When the Wisconsin winters rolled in, the couple happily swapped snow for sunshine, spending their winters in Florida where she enjoyed golfing and long, relaxing days. Rachel also had a soft spot for a little fun, whether it was an occasional trip to the casino or going out to eat, she loved time spent together, laughing and enjoying good company and great food. At home, she took pride in being a meticulous homemaker. Her home was warm, welcoming, and tended to with love but, above all she was devoted to her family. Rachel is survived by her husband, Duane Fietzer; children: Debbie (John) Wiegand, Diane (Tony) Monday, Dave (Sue) Fietzer, Doreen (John) Supple; grandchildren: Ashley (Eric Robinson) Supple, John (Amber Goljenboom) Supple, Sadie Rachel Fietzer, Ruby Rachel Fietzer; great grandchildren: Walker, Cordelia, Qyah Goljenboom-Supple, Lincoln Chapple; and sister-in-law, MarJean Plate.

Emblem Emblem Irving “Irv” Louis Keough, age 75 of Menasha, WI joined his heavenly kingdom on November 16, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born to Charles and Josephine (Tennessen) Keough on September 23, 1950 in Kaukauna, WI. After graduating from Kaukauna High School, he went to UW - LaCrosse and earned his Bachelors in Social Studies. He then went on to earn his master’s degree in education, making a positive impact molding the minds of high school students in his psychology and social studies classes. While teaching, Irv reconnected with his classmate Janet Knapp and were married in July of 1981, beginning an adventure of over forty years. The two loved to travel, especially to warmer climates. If anything could be said of Irv, it would be that he was a man with a full schedule. Because of that, he had to be a careful planner for everything. He meticulously plotted out his schedule, carrying a notebook and pen with him at all times. Irv was also incredibly ambitious, sometimes taking on more than the average person would handle. Just a few of his hobbies and activities included golfing, performing theatre, singing in the church choir, watching and engaging in high school, college, and professional sports, and coaching cross country, track and field, and officiating multiple sports. Additionally, he was a very active member of the Kaukauna Lions Club. Yet somehow, through all of this, he still managed to find time for his faith, his family, and his friends. You could often find Irv out on the town enjoying breakfast and coffee at local diners. More than anything, though, Irv loved his family and cherished every moment he could spend with the people who meant the most to him. Irv will be deeply missed by his wife Janet, son Skyler (Victoria), and by his sister Mary Jo (Mark) Ehle, and uncle Robert Knapp. He will also be missed by Bruce (Bonnie) Knapp, Paul (Mary) Knapp. Irv is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Irv is preceded in death by his parents Charles and Josephine Keough, infant sister Janet, and his best friend of forty years Tim Crowe, who preceded him on November 4th. A funeral visitation will be held for Irv from 9:30 – 11:00 AM on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 309 Desnoyer St, Kaukauna, WI 54130 with a mass to follow at 11:00 AM. Irv will be laid to rest at St. Mary Cemetery in Kaukauna, WI. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to St. Paul’s Elders Services who helped Irv and many of our family members over the years (https://stpaulelders.org/). Or, go see Christmas Stars as they will be one star short this year (https://www.christmasstars.org/).

She was born to Paul and Gayle (Miller) Fassbender on November 18, 1978 in Appleton, WI. Despite many difficulties in life, Staci was probably the friendliest and most conversational person you would ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Staci would always start her day off right with a hot cup of coffee and a cigarette, devoting that time to self-care and building the strength to take care of others for the rest of the day. She was a true animal lover, but had an exceptional connection with horses. Staci loved the outdoors and cherished the time she spent in nature, spending a lot of her free time peacefully fishing from the dock whenever she had the chance. More than anything else, though, she loved her family and treasured every moment she spent with her parents, siblings, and especially her daughter. Staci will be missed by her daughter, Crin (Neiko – Crin’s other half); her parents, Paul and Gayle; her siblings, Lorie and Scott; her nephews, Brian, Austin, Trenton, Gavyn (Bubba), Victor, and Norbert; her great-nephew, Levi; as well as many other extended relatives and many dear friends. | 22 Nov 2025 | ||
