Obituary:
Lorraine "Honey" Schwalbach, 95, Little Chute, peacefully took her last breath on July 27, 2015, after spending exactly 35,000 days on earth. She was born to the late Henry and Mary (Weyenberg) Emmers on September 5, 1919. Her mother passed away when she was three years old. She said that's when people said she was a "Little Honey" and the name stuck. She truly was a honey of a person. She married George Schwalbach III on April 30, 1941. They farmed the family homestead until George's death in 1995.
Honey loved playing cards and was always ready for a good game of Cribbage, Sheepshead or Rummy. In fact, she played her last winning cribbage game against her grandson, George, just hours before her passing. She was a member of the Jacob Coppus Post 258 Auxiliary in Little Chute. She always had a smile on her face, enjoyed family and friends and never spoke a negative word about anyone. Honey will truly be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by a daughter, Sansee (Dick) Hietpas; daughter in law, Pat (Greg) Van Zeeland; granddaughters, Lori Hietpas, Amy Daul, Melissa (Jon) Rodon and Heidi Hietpas; grandson, George V (Jessie) Schwalbach; great grandchildren, Amanda, Rob and Niki Daul, Jaide Hietpas, Vince Hietpas, Kailee and George VI Schwalbach; extended grand and great grandchildren, Lace (Ryan), Jax and Breckan Luedke, Peter (Kristin), Max, Marie and Megan Van Zeeland; sisters in law, Helen Emmers and Middy Emmers; as well as many other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
