  Colleen "Chickie" Lynn Vollmer, guided by the angels, Chickie danced her way into heaven on Monday, November 29, 2010. Chickie was born Colleen Lynn Vollmer on January 5, 1952, daughter of the late Bill and Dorothy (Malamphy) Vollmer. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Hilbert, where she was baptized, received first Holy Communion, and was confirmed. She attended rural school in Brant with Mrs. Rosemary Fox as her teacher. She then attended New Hope Center, Chilton. She loved biking around the block on her three wheeler. Most of all, Chickie loved to dance. After she lost the use of her legs though, she also lost many of the things she enjoyed. But never one to complain, life went on just like before. She still giggled and laughed, and teased anyone who would spend time with her. As Chickie grew older and more tired, she still watched for and enjoyed the company of anyone who came to visit. She spent much of her time doing puzzles, latch hook, coloring, and made many pot holders. Many of us have stained glass murals in our windows that she painted for us and are still using the pot holders she made for us. Chickie had a good outlook on life, despite the many difficulties she had to endure. There was always a smile for each of us and a "Ya Hi" to anyone who stopped to talk to her. There isn't a family member who didn't know the loving pat on the butt they got as they passed by her and the giggle that followed. Chickie is survived by her brother: Bob (Julie) Vollmer and their family, her sister: Margie (Bob) Gosz and their family, and her sister: Bunny (Jerry) Van Cuyk and their family, her godmother: Arlyne Sielaff Frank, and many cousins and caring friends. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister: Carmen in 1957, grandparents: John and Mary Vollmer and John and Tillie Malamphy, godfather: Howie Sielaff, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Also preceding Chickie in death was a very special friend: Cora Van Cuyk, who treated Chickie like one of her own. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, December 3, 2010 at NOON at St. Mary Catholic Church in Hilbert. Father Philip Dinh-Van-Thiep will officiate. Burial will be in the parish cemetery in Hilbert. Friends may call at the church on Friday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of Mass. The Wieting Funeral Home in Brillion is assisting the family with funeral arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.wieting-funeralhome.com. The family would like to thank everyone who helped with Chickie throughout her lifetime: Dr. Brian Scott, Dr. Fx VanLieshout, Dr. Sid Schultz D.D.S., Fran and Pete, just to name a few of the many. We also want to especially thank her Caregivers of Chilton: Dorothy, Linda, Kelly, and Lorie. We also wish to thank her many nurses: Carol, Amy, Faye, Sandy, Karen, Dalia, and especially Chris Davisson, who was gentle and loving to Chickie. Through many rough situations, she held Chickie, and soothed her worries away. If we missed anyone, please know that you are thanked from the bottom of our hearts. A memorial in Chickie's honor will be given to the Hilbert/Potter First Responders. You were always there for us and very considerate of the situation. You treated Chickie with respect and dignity. Thank you. Read more: http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20101201/APC010301/12010710/Vollmer-Colleen-L-#ixzz16tG0EAHL
