Obituary
Carol Louise Wiedenfeld, 86, of Lake Mills, passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, at her home, with her two sons by her side, at the end of prayer.
She was born on April 9, 1928 in the Town of Farmington, the oldest daughter of the late George and Florence (Ulm) Schlesner.
Carol graduated from the 8th grade at Woodside School and from the Johnson Creek High School with the Class of 1946.
She had been employed by Brandt Cashier and the Jefferson-Dodge Credit Union.
Carol met the love of her life, Raymond F. Wiedenfeld, at the Music Box in Johnson Creek. They were married on August 17, 1949 and farmed in the Town of Aztalan for over 50 years. Raymond died on October 21, 2010. She assisted Raymond with his duties as the Town of Aztalan treasurer.
Carol was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, served as the funeral luncheon coordinator, was on the Finance Board, helped with meals on wheels and bingo at Willowbrook Nursing Home and Rock Lake Manor. During her first years of marriage, she had served as the church pianist. She was also a member of the Aztalan Homemakers, later the Rock Lake Homemakers, and served on the Aztalan-Milford Cemetery Board.
Carol was a good cook; her rhubarb desserts and apple cakes were family favorites, along with sharing her caramels with her grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, couponing, rebating, listening to her scanner, gathering hickory nuts, and feeding the birds. Carol was always on the go and enjoyed and treasured an active lifestyle.
Survivors include two sons, Roger (Beth) and Jay (Sharon) both of Lake Mills; 9 grandsons, Luke (Beth), Eli (fiancée Amanda), Ben (Christine), Zeke, Wyatt (fiancée Laura), Noah, Timothy (Lisa), Andrew (Sheena), Patrick (girlfriend Paige) and her favorite granddaughter, Helen; 13 great-grandchildren, Emma Carol, Molly, Ada, Clark, Zylah Rae, Makaylla, Adellyna, Greta, Whitney, Brooke, Isaac, Jack, and Fox; a sister, Joyce (Lyle) Punzel of Jefferson and a sister-in-law, Patricia Schlesner of Lancaster.
Also preceding in death was a brother, Gary Schlesner and a special uncle, Ortwin Schlesner.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 12 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church with the Rev. Mark D. Dressel officiating. Burial will be in the Rock Lake Cemetery. Visitation will be at the church from 10 a.m. on Saturday until the time of service.
If desired, memorials may be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, Lake Mills EMS, Rainbow Hospice Care of Jefferson, St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, or a charity of one's choice.
A special thank you to St. Mary's Hospital 7SW for their tender care.
