Obituary:
Appleton - Germaine Josephine Siebers Shillcox, 96, has gone to her rest in the Peace of Jesus Christ, on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, after a long wonderful Christian Life.
She was born on Thursday, July 14, 1921 in Kaukauna, the oldest daughter of Henry and Henrietta (Emmers) Siebers. Her mother taking ill when she was 14, Germaine left St. John's School in Little Chute and cared for the home, her folks and her younger siblings.
She baked lots of bread and pies 'from scratch', and cleaned houses in Little Chute and Kimberly to earn funds to buy groceries. Through this experience, she became and excellent home-maker, cook, baker, seamstress, knitter and caregiver. During World War II, she worked at Zwicker Knitting Mills embroidering and inspecting. She would go on to make quilts, bridesmaids' dresses, vestments, upholstery, doll clothes and all sorts of handmade treasures for her family and others.
Having met him at the Nightengale Ballroom in Wrightstown, on November 18, 1947, she married Wayne Shillcox, at St. John Nepomucene Church in Little Chute; they recently celebrated 70 years of Christian Marriage. We are so proud of them!
They built a house at 2620 N. Bennett Street in Appleton in 1951, and for 57 years, that would be their home. Over these years, Germaine worshipped and volunteered at St. Pius X Parish, where she was a 'charter member' on September 4, 1957. She worked at Gimbel's, Prange's and Younker's, and volunteered in the Craft Room at St. Elizabeth Hospital for 18 years.
She has resided for five years at Rennes Health and Rehab Center.
Germaine loved her family; she had a strong Faith, prayed the Rosary daily and worked very hard in life. She had a gentle, quiet, humble personality.
Germaine is survived by her husband, Wayne, who took such devoted care of her as her health declined, faithfully visiting her twice daily, with companionship, Communion, love and chocolates; her daughter and son-in-law, Deb and Bill Santoski; her son, Norbertine Father Tim Shillcox; her grandson, Ryan Santoski, and her great-granddaughters, Mikayla Santoski-Xiong and Grace Rhode. Her sister, Mary Carnot; sisters-in-law, Janet Janssen and Nellie Shillcox; and many nieces and nephews survive her; as well as her faithful friends, Marge Balliette and Ed Cross.
She was preceded in death by her granddaughters, Lauren Kelly Santoski and Nicole Santoski Rhode; her parents; her siblings and in-laws: George (Cookie), Bob (Pat), Paul, Norbertine Father Glen, Ruth (Ralf) Bewick, Orville, Mark, Roger, Theresa; and her brother-in-law, Paul Carnot. Wayne's family: Estelle and Jim Shillcox; John (Dorothy), Weltha (Ben) Smudde, Grant, Mary (Earl) Probst and Jim (Lorraine) also preceded her through Death's Gate.
Friends may call at Saint Pius X Church, 500 West Marquette Street, Appleton, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, February 21. A Mass of Christian Burial, expressing our thanksgiving for Germaine's earthly life, and our hope for her share in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the church, with her son, Fr. Tim Shillcox, O.Praem, presiding. Burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery. Blaney Funeral Home, Green Bay is assisting the family. To send online condolences, please go to www.BlaneyFuneralHome.com.

Thanks also to her sister, Mary for such faithful visits and warm affection for her sister.
We are blessed and firm in Faith for that Heavenly reunion on the great and final Day of the Lord! Hug Nicole and Lauren for us all! We love you!
