  Biese, Mary (nee Coonen) of Kaukauna, age 96 years, died peacefully on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, at the St. Paul Home. Mary was born on April 23, 1910, in Jump River, Wisconsin, to the late Arnold and Anna (DeBruin) Coonen. Her father died when she was only six months old. When her mother Anna married John DeCoster, the family moved back to Kaukauna. On May 19, 1931, Mary married Aloysius Biese at St. Mary Church where she continued to be a lifelong and very active member of the parish. Together they farmed and raised a family. Mary loved to sew, peel potatoes, made excellent pie crust and peeled apples for many an apple pie. She was very proud of all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She taught many of them to sew, the girls learned to braid hair and many a grandchild learned the game of sheepshead and checkers from her. Mary volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul and St. Paul Home. In 2003, Mary received the life-time achievement award from the service organizations of Kaukauna. Mary is survived by her nine children: Marvin (Pat) Biese, Wrightstown; Mark (Janet) Biese, Townsend; Marie (Charlie) Wall, Greenleaf; Gerald (Mary Beth) Biese, Eden Prairie, Minnesota; Carol (Mike) Hagens, Darboy; Joan Hagens, Laona; Jim (Bonnie) Biese, Greenleaf; Helen (Stan) Dercks, Kaukauna; Ann (Roger) Huss, Kaukauna; 39 grandchildren, 91 great grandchildren; and a sister: Delia (nee Decoster) Schumacher-Hauser, Appleton. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Mary was preceded in death by her parents and step-father; her husband, Aloysius; a son, Arnold; a daughter, Jane Brautigan; a granddaughter, Mary Biese; great grandchildren: Gavin Hug and Rose Schroedl-Dercks, a son-in-law, Ralph Hagens; brothers: Ben (Rose) Coonen, George (Ruth) Coonen, Henry "Hank" (Ceil) Coonen, Albert (Agnes) DeCoster and Martin (Hattie) DeCoster; brothers-in-law: Bill Schumacher and Carl Hauser and her husband's family: Lena (Frank) Van Camp, Mary (Pete) Onkels, Pete (Ella) Biese, Frank (Clara) Biese, Elizabeth Biese and Henry (Catherine) Biese. The funeral liturgy for Mary will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH, 309 Desnoyer Street, Kaukauna, with Fr. Jack Mullarkey officiating.
