Mickie was an authentically classy woman with grace overflowing. Always a lady right up until her last breath. She was the heart and soul of our family, and she will be sorely missed. Rest easy our beautiful Mickie, rest easy.

On December 4, 1971, Ruth married the love of her life Edward Klitzke and recently celebrated 52 years of marriage. Ed and Ruth moved to Shiocton where they raised their three children.

Ruth held many jobs, but the most rewarding was being able to stay home with the kids while they were young, which also gave her the opportunity to be an in-home childcare provider for numerous children whom she loved like her own. In 1986, Ruth found her passion working at Shiocton School District as a para-professional and van driver where she impacted many students’ lives. She served on the Shiocton village board for several years and did a lot of volunteering at National Mutual Benefit. Ruth served as a Sunday school teacher at Messiah Lutheran Church for many years and in 2004, Ruth and Ed joined Christus Lutheran Church where they are still active members. In her retirement, she worked at Colwitzs BP gas station and really enjoyed stopping in for a coffee at Hometown Grill to catch up with friends. Her favorite time was simply being surrounded by family and friends taking every opportunity to watch her kids and grandkids’ sporting events and school activities. Ruth would often check in with everyone, making nightly phone calls to her kids, grandkids, friends, and family, just to check in on your day and say “I love you”.

Ruth will be missed dearly by her husband Edward Klitzke, her three children: Chad (Kim), Stacey (Antonio) Gonzalez, and Joel (Amy). Munka, nicknamed by her eldest Grandchild, is survived by her Grandchildren: Keenan and Kennedy Klitzke, Josue Gonzalez, Jessenia (Robert) Bergemann, Marco Gonzalez, Matthew and Jacob Klitzke and Great Grand Children: Manuel Gonzalez and Martha Ruth Bergemann.

Audrey H. Risse Age 95 | Appleton, WI
Audrey H. Risse Age 95 | Appleton, WI
Audrey H. Risse, 95, Appleton, passed away on September 6, 2024, at her residence. She is joining her husband Leonard R. Risse, who passed away October 25, 2023. Audrey was born October 13, 1928, in Green Bay, WI to Mable Van De Hei and Albert Hazaerts.

Audrey married Leonard on September 9, 1950. They raised four boys together.

She and her one sister, Laverne, were raised on a small dairy farm in Rockland County, WI. As farm help was limited the two of them helped with bailing hay and driving the horses. Living conditions were classic, with an outhouse, chamber pots, occasional sponge baths, and marginal heat in winter. When the wind was strong the windmill driving the water pump sounded like it would rip the roof off. Grade school consisted of a small one room building; volunteers started the wood stove.

High school proved to be an immensely positive experience where she made friends and took up dancing, one of her greatest pleasures in life (aside from raising a family). She was proud of getting a degree from the University of Wisconsin Madison as she considered herself an average student. It is also where she met and fell in love with her future husband. Having a strong family was one of her greatest desires and accomplishments.

Those who met Audrey knew she was very sweet, innocent, and loving. She always thought the best of others. She and her husband Len were long time members of Faith Lutheran Church.

Audrey is survived by her sons: Robert (Karen) Risse, Seattle, WA, Paul (Nancy Darigo) Risse, Anchorage, AK, and Michael (Brenda) Risse, De Pere, WI; 4 grandchildren: Amber Risse (Dan Vaughn), Roxanne, Francesca and Anton Risse; two great grandchildren: Caroline and Bruce.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Laverne, son Steven, and her husband.

A Memorial Service for Audrey will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 13, 2024, at Faith Lutheran Church, Appleton. Entombment will take place at Highland Memorial Park, Appleton.

Anthony J. Utschig, Esq. November 22, 1950 — August 14, 2024
Anthony J. Utschig, Esq. November 22, 1950 — August 14, 2024
Anthony (Tony) J. Utschig age 73 of Appleton, WI passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024, at his home in Mesa, AZ. Anthony was diagnosed with severe stage 4 metastatic cancer back in December, 2022. Anthony was born on November 22, 1950, in Appleton, the son of the late Glenn and Delores Utschig. He attended and graduated from Xavier High School. Anthony attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison for two years and UW-Oshkosh for two years. After college he went to work for the Oneida Nation and eventually became their Administrator in charge of government and business operations for three years in his early 30’s. During those years, the Oneida Nation had up to 540 employees and had a reputation as possibly the most progressive Indian Tribe in the country.

He also was an Appleton City Alderman for five years in his late 20’s. Later at the age of 35, Anthony went back to the University of Wisconsin Law School, getting a Juris Doctorate in 1988.

Anthony then went to work for the law firm, Bollenbeck, Block, Seymour, Rowland and Samson. After two years there, Tony, along with Ed & Rick Bollenbeck and Dick Rowland parted ways with the firm and formed a new law firm: Bollenbeck, Rowland & Utschig with the four of them being equal owners and full partners. Within two years after forming this new firm, Tony restricted his practice to plaintiff personal injury, along with about 5% of his work being applicant worker’s compensation cases. Tony was a member of this firm until 1999 when he decided to open his own private practice doing personal injury law only, which allowed him to spend much of his winters in Arizona.

Tony was a very loving and compassionate person. He treated everyone equally and did his best to help out anyone that needed a little advice. He was a great listener and gave good advice. He was a great guy who would often give other golfers advice, whenever asked. He was a wonderful husband/father/grandfather. He had a heart of GOLD.

In September of 1988, 36 years ago, Tony met the love of his life, Hope (Ritchie) at a place called the Four Torches and the rest is history. Hope took care of Tony, helping him recover from the many surgeries and illnesses that he experienced during his last twelve years. She was his solid rock that he could rely upon to handle most of the situations that came about. They both enjoyed their time in Arizona, golfing and just taking time for themselves, which back in Wisconsin was difficult. Wisconsin was a lot more stressful, due to both Tony and Hope having very time consuming and complex schedules: practicing law; managing 72 units of rental housing; and helping raise two of their grandchildren.

Hope’s daughter, Sheila, has two sons, Wyatt and Weston. They were the two boys that Tony never had. Tony stepped into the role as the boys’ sole father figure when they were two and four years old. They were together almost every day. He taught the boys how to play baseball, football, basketball, bowl, and golf, at the same time teaching them valuable lessons of life. He went to many of their tournaments, with everyone really enjoying the times spent together. The boys kept both Hope and Tony young at heart.

Tony always maintained a close relationship with his daughter, Angela, which continued when she moved to Pewaukee after college. They spoke frequently about topics like: political issues, health issues and doing the right thing in handling daily life.

Tony also enjoyed watching the Milwaukee Bucks, Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers and Milwaukee Brewers. His real love was for the Milwaukee Bucks, sharing season tickets for several years in the mid 1990’s. He and Tom Putzer loved watching these games together and being co-sports commentators. Tony enjoyed the many texts sent back and forth during the games, especially the Milwaukee Bucks. Tom would even drive up from the Racine area many times, just to watch games together and share their thoughts about life. They shared a very special friendship.

During his last two years alive, Tony formed a special friendship with Rick Martin, playing a lot of golf and sharing time together.

Anthony is survived by his wife Hope; daughters, Amy Putzer, and grandson Lofton Putzer; Angela Utschig (Jason) and grandchildren: Bobby Dieringer; and Demi (Sam) Dembiec and great-grandchildren, Asher & Haven; step-daughter, Sheila Beyer and grandchildren, Wyatt and Weston; son-in-law Tom (Anchalee)Putzer son Lofton and grandson Zachary. Tony is survived by one sister, Laurie (Steve) Schimmers; two brothers, John Utschig and Allen Utschig; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents, Glenn and Delores Utschig; a sister Mary Wegner, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A special thanks is given to Dr. Christopher Sipple, M.D., for all of his thoughtfulness and expertise caring for Tony, especially in his later years.

A Celebration of Tony's life will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott Appleton - Riverfront, located at 191 Riverheath Way on Sunday, October 6, 2024, from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM.

As Tony would way when guests came over, "Bar's Open!"

Joyce R. Cohen June 11, 1929 ~ September 3, 2024
Joyce R. Cohen June 11, 1929 ~ September 3, 2024
Joyce R. Cohen, age 95, passed away peacefully in her sleep on September 3, 2024. Born June 11, 1929 on the family farm in Glenmore to parents Clement and Sadie (née Vanden Heuvel) Matzke, she graduated from De Pere High School in 1947.

Joyce married C. Bernard Cohen in De Pere on September 25, 1948. The Cohens lived in Morrison, before moving to Langes Corners to raise their five children and establish Cohen’s TV Repair. Joyce assisted with management of the business; often running pickups and deliveries, as well as office administration and bookkeeping.

In her free time, she attended softball games at Circle Tap and Sunset Park in Appleton, volunteered at the church office of St. Mary’s Glenmore, and was a proud member of the Daughters of Isabella.

Joyce loved to travel; road trips with Bernard across the United States to National Parks and flying to Ireland in their youth progressed to group casino outings in retirement. Though a fiercely competitive bingo player, she retained her frugal nature and often advised her grandchildren to stick to penny slots, saying “That way, if you lose, at least it’s not too much.”

She was happiest when gathered with friends, siblings, and relatives; both on holidays and at the annual Matzke Family Reunion. A supportive presence, she was always content to listen and laugh at jokes and stories so long as she was surrounded by her family and, ideally, holding a good piece of chocolate cake.

Joyce is survived by her sons Kevin (Janet) Cohen, Charles (Sara) Cohen, daughters-in-law Nancy Cohen and Lisa Cohen; grandchildren Lee (Keri) Steffens, Molly Steffens, Justin (Thunyasiri) LeBreck, Tara (Matthew) Mullarkey, Katie (Alex) Aicher, Reina (John) Ferreras, Kelli Cohen, Brendan Cohen, Sean Cohen, and Aidan Cohen; beloved great-grandchildren Brock and Kaitlin Steffens, Sadie and Nora Mullarkey, Max and Oliver Aicher, and Johanna Ferreras; as well as sister Gloria (Roger) Bougie, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Joyce was preceded in rest by her parents, husband C. Bernard, daughter Connie Steffens, son-in-law Donald Steffens, sons Michael and John Cohen, grandson Jon Steffens, sisters Blossom (Milton) Krueger, June (Ed) Collins, and Rosella (Rollie) Schroeder, brothers Roland (Ethel) Matzke, Robert (Germaine) Matzke, and Ken (Dolores) Matzke; along with brothers and sisters-in-law Catherine and Jack Stedl, Robert Cohen, Mary Kane, and Doris and Giles Kane.

Friends and family may join in celebrating her life at St. Mary’s Glenmore Catholic Church, 5832 Big Apple Rd., De Pere, on Thursday, September 12, 2024. Visitation will begin at 10 AM with mass to follow at 11 AM. She will be laid to rest at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Maple Grove.
