Obituary:
Rosemary Sophie Heideman was born on April 12, 1921 in Appleton and passed away on March 29, 2016. Her parents were Robert Pekarske and Lorine Hauert. She had four siblings Margaret (nurse), Joe (baker), Howard (master plumber) and Don (policeman). They grew up in downtown Appleton on West 8th Street and spent summers at the Hauert/Pekarske cottages on the Fox River near Butte Des Morts Golf Course. Rosemary had many tales of the fun she had swimming across the river and roller skating between the cottage and St. Mary's Church on Sunday.
Rosemary graduated from Appleton High school in 1939 and married Phil Bixby in 1941. They started their life together on the Bixby family farm along Prospect Avenue where she spent so many of her childhood summers. Their first son, Phil Jr., was born in November of 1942. Phil Sr. served as a WWII tank commander in North Africa, Sicily, Normandy and Germany. Following the Battle of the Bulge, he was home on leave, returned to his unit and was killed in action near the Elbe River on April 14, 1945. A second son, Ronald, was born in November 1945.
In 1952 Rosemary married Roland Heideman and moved to the home he built on Morrison Street across from Erb Park in Appleton. Roland had a daughter, Betty Ann, who was born in 1945. Her mother died in 1949. Roland was a WWII veteran and mail carrier, Rosemary, a stay at home mom. They had a large garden that kept them busy and well fed, and a large extended family.
In the late 1950's, they bought a lot on Lake Winneconne next to Rosemary's brother, Howard Pekarske, and built a cottage which eventually turned into their year round home in the 1970's. Roland died of a heart attack in 1982. Rosemary stayed on alone at the cottage, happy to be able to care for her lakefront home which she loved.
In 2011 Rosemary decided it was time to move into the VNA Residential Assisted Living Facility where she remained until her passing.
Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, husbands, siblings, son Phil, daughter Betty, and grandson Phil "Skip". She is survived by her son, Ronald Bixby, Hillsdale, New York and her sister-in-law, Wilma "Billie" Pekarske, Appleton. She has nine surviving grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, five great-great grandchildren, and nieces/nephews. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m., at Wichmann Funeral Home, 537 N. Superior St, Appleton on Sunday, April 3, 2016, 15 days short of her 95th birthday. There will be a time of visitation at the funeral home from 1 p.m. until the time of the service.

Obituary:
Howard Robert Pekarske began his new life in God's care on December 2, 2010, a life without Alzheimer's disease or strokes. Howard was born on April 4, 1923, in Appleton, the fourth son of Robert and Lorine (Hauert) Pekarske. He attended school in Appleton and enjoyed playing hockey in Jones' Park. Howard played football at Appleton West High School, where he graduated in 1941.
From 1943 until 1946, he proudly served his country in the United States Army in World War II. He was stationed in the U.S. and in the Philippines. Prior to and during the war, he met and corresponded with Wilma (Billie) Schroeder, who became the love of his life. On October 16, 1948, they were married and moved into the house that he had built for them.
Howard served an apprenticeship with Wenzel Brothers Plumbing and became a Journeyman, then Master Plumber. He was a proud member of Local 400 Plumbers and Steamfitters for over 60 years. Howard loved carpentry, tree-trimming, growing apples, traveling, fishing, the Packers and spending time with his family and friends at their cottage on Lake Winneconne, which was also built by him.
Along the way, he and Wilma (Billie) had two daughters. Howard taught them so much, including tree-trimming, clearing drains and fixing toilets! They raised their daughters to be self-sufficient and to believe that they could do anything they put their mind to. He retired in 1985 and spent his retirement relaxing and doing the things he loved.
Howard is survived by his wife of 62 years, Wilma (Billie); his two daughters, Mary (Greg) Pekarske-Siers and Ann (Earl) Sager; the girl who put a twinkle in his eye, granddaughter, Rachael Pekarske-Siers; his "grandkitties," Leo and Silver; sister, Rosemary Heideman; sisters-in-law, Lorna Pekarske, Jeanette Davis, Donna and Karen Schroeder, and Beverly (Lupe) Sanchez; brothers-in-law, Ken Schroeder, Llew (Carrie) Schroeder and Jim (Doreen) Schroeder; and many nieces, nephews, godchildren and friends.
Those preceding him to Heaven were his parents; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Edward and Florence Schroeder; sister, Marguerite Feldman; brothers, Joseph and Donald Pekarske; sister-in-law, Nita Pekarske; brothers-in-law, Philip Bixby, Roland Heideman, Stanley Feldman, Richard Schroeder, Arleigh Schroeder and Gayle Davis; niece, Anita Sanchez; and nephew, Philip Bixby, III.
The funeral liturgy for Howard will be at 11 a.m. on Thursday, December 9, 2010, at ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1617 W. Pine Street, Appleton, with Fr. Dennis Ryan officiating. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, at WICHMANN FUNERAL HOME and at church on Thursday from 10 a.m. until the time of the Mass. A prayer service will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the funeral home. Interment will take place at St. Joseph Cemetery, Appleton.
Memorial donations in Howard's name may be made to a fund being established.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Johnson and the staff of the second and fourth floors at St. Elizabeth Hospital and to Betty, Missy and the entire staff at Manor Care for the wonderful care of Howard. The kindness and caring you have shown have been a great comfort to the family.
