Obituary:
Lucille Moser Kaukauna, age 89, died Wednesday, May 9, 2007, at St. Elizabeth. She was born November 25, 1917, to the late Theodore and Mary (McDaniel) Van Vreede in Freedom. After her mom's untimely and sudden death, Theodore married Katherine Dempsey who raised Lucille. She married Willard "Bill" P. Moser on December 28, 1940. He preceded her in death on September 25, 1991. Lucille grew up on the family farm in Freedom until she started her lifelong career of elementary teacher and homemaker (aka Super Mom). She worked for many years at St. John Grade School in Little Chute. Her love of reading was the foundation of her professional life, and that passion positively impacted her children. Lucille was a longtime member of St. John and St. Mary Catholic Church. She was a nature enthusiast, enjoying fishing and hiking at High Cliff. Lucille enjoyed knitting afghans, board games, cribbage and sheepshead, as well as family Sunday rides in the car that usually turned into sing-a- longs. In her later years, Lucille enjoyed the freedom that St. Paul Villa offered attending daily mass and rosary service.
She is survived by her son, Bill (Linda Hermes) Moser and their son, William Hermes; three daughters: Elaine (Curtis) Nelson and her two children: Juliet (Bill) Gardner and Tim (Mary Jo) Bauer; Linda (Thomas Erickson) Moser; and Fay (Laszlo, "Les") Stumpf; her brothers and sisters: Anita Hammill, Marion Hurley, Helen John, Phyllis Mauthe, Jim Van Vreede, Mark Van Vreede, Tom (Lori) Van Vreede, Jerry (Myrt) Van Vreede and Mark Van Vreede.
