Obituary:
Margaret Wildenberg, age 95, of Kimberly, passed away on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at the Appleton Retirement Community. She was born on November 3, 1916 in Hollandtown, the daughter of the late Henry and Ann (Curtain) Vandehey. On February 4, 1944, Margaret married Peter Wildenberg at St. John Catholic Church in Little Chute. He preceded her in death. Margaret worked at Kresge's prior to her marriage and was a bookkeeper for the Schmidt's at U.S. Oil for many years. She was very proud of being a founding member of the employee credit union, which later became Fox Communities Credit Union. Margaret was a member of Holy Spirit Parish, Kimberly, and enjoyed the prayer-partner volunteering she participated in. She was a talented athlete and excelled at bowling and golfing, as well as being an avid sports fan who enjoyed each season with great gusto. Margaret was full of fun and shared that fun with her family, Mariner scout troop, her card playing and square-dancing friends. She was also a talented pianist and was always ready for a sing-a-long.
Margaret is survived by: her daughter, Ann (Bob) Larson of Madison; granddaughters, Eri Larson and Emily (Victor) Larson Rodriguez; great grandson, Ariel Larson Rodriguez; sister, Ruth Hawley; sisters-in-law: Milly Langedyke, Elva Wildenberg, Jeanne Smith and Peg Wildenberg. She is further survived by many loved nieces and nephews.
Others holding a special place in her heart include members of the Pete and Gerry Demerath family, the Glen and Marian Vandehey family, and her prayer partner and friend, Caleb Gossens.
The funeral liturgy for Margaret will be held at 12:00 noon on Friday, November 2, 2012 at Holy Spirit/Holy Name Church, 620 E. Kimberly Avenue in Kimberly. Fr. David Beaudry will be officiating. Interment will take place at Highland Memorial Park in Appleton. A time of visitation will be held on Friday from 11:00 am until the time of mass.

The family is very grateful to the staff at the Appleton Retirement Community for their gentle and loving care, and concern. Special thanks to Dr. Timothy Culligan and his staff for their excellent care. We have truly lost an angel who taught us by example to be good and kind to all we encounter, and always said as we left her, "Be happy and have fun."
