Obituary:
Florence H. (Spierings) Meinhardt, 87, Appleton, crossed over to Heaven, with the help of her Angels on July 15, 2012 at a local nursing home. Florence was born on April 14, 1925 in Vandenbroeck WI to the late Henry and Nellie (Lamers) Spierings. On May 22, 1948 she married Leroy Meinhardt and they enjoyed over 64 years together. On her life's journey she was a waitress, worked in the kitchen at Lawrence University, was a Boy Scout Leader and a member of the VFW Women's Auxiliary and a Women's Bowling League for over 30 years, often scoring 200 or more. She was a loving mother who made our house a home with her warmth. Her greatest happiness came from baking, celebrating all the holidays, time with friends and family, being outside and lending a hand wherever needed. In her later years, her lifelong joy of singing and dancing brought happiness to many hearts and brightened many days.
She is survived by her husband Leroy, children Nancy (Daryl) Recker, Judy (Allen) Sigmund and David Meinhardt, grandchildren, Aaron (special friend Niki), Britney and Wylee, daughter-in-law Wendy Meinhardt as well as many other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, granddaughter Krystal and 4 sisters.
A celebration of Florence's life will be held on Thursday from 3-7 pm at Valley Funeral Home in Appleton. Memorial Service at the funeral home at 7:00 pm.
We wish to thank all the care givers at Colony Oaks for all the kindness and care they gave to Florence.
