- Ethel Ida Moehring (nee Sedo) Died November 21, 2014.
Born March 12, 1915 in the Township of Liberty, Wisconsin, Ethel Sedo married Ralph Moehring in 1937 and lived in Appleton, where they became active and proud members of their church and community. Ethel held many roles supporting various Appleton organizations, including St. Elizabeth Hospital, St Therese School and Parish, Xavier High School, and the Appleton Community Foundation. She ardently supported the Crozier Society (Green Bay Diocese), Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, Marquette University, School Sisters of Notre Dame and many other deserving efforts. The roles Ethel held closest to her heart were those of wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Ethel was blessed with amazing health and spirit throughout her life and will be remembered by those who knew her for her ready smile, always positive attitude and constant competitive spirit - whether in bridge, golf or life.
Survived by her children, Judith (Sr. Mary Pamela, SSND) Madison; Marilyn (Bruce) Boardman, Geneseo, IL; Pamela (John) Peters, Naples, FL; sister-in-law, Alice Nickel as well as cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ethel's legacy will continue with her six grandchildren and [almost] 16 great-grandchildren, Adam (Kristina), Kyle and Anna Boardman; Molly (Philip), Niamh and Anthony O'Brien; Elizabeth (Jeff), Clare, Elouise and Delilah Hulsbrink; Jacob (Eileen), Jack, Billy, Ryan and Colin Peters; Kathryn (David), Sarah and Baby Bushnell; John, Jr. (Lauren), Mary Kathryn, Nora and Betsy Peters.
Preceded in death by Ralph, her husband of 67 years; brother, Wilbert Sedo, parents, Louise and Lawrence Sedo; in-laws, Florian and Estelle Moehring, Alex Nickel, Milton Sachs, Ruth Sedo and Mildred Vandenberg.
A Mass in Memoriam will be held at 11:30 a.m. on December 2, 2014, at St. Bernard Church, 1617 West Pine Street, Appleton, Wisconsin.
Ethel's wish is that we continue her tradition of generosity by passing forward a kind act or treasure to help others become their very best. In lieu of flowers, we are grateful to those who honor Ethel's memory in this special way.
This kind and loving woman positively influenced all who knew her and will be deeply missed.
