  Frommherz, Margaret M. (Brooks) Margaret was a woman with great imagination and poetic ability that was exhibited at an early age. She won 4 1st places and 1 3rd place in a creative writing contest at Appleton High School in 1931, a record that was unparalleled at the time. Her poems appeared in many publications, both locally and nationally. She was a wonderful mother, encouraging her children in any pursuits in which they showed an interest. She made sure there were always books and music available to stretch their intellects. Margaret was also a lover of animals and her poems about them were among her best. Margaret was born in 1915 and married Paul G. Frommherz in 1939 after meeting him in the hospital where he was a patient and she was an aide. He preceded her in death in 1997. She is survived by three children and their spouses: Marianne and Carl Fiscus, Tom and Karen Frommherz, Paul and Fran Frommherz; seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She is further survived by two sisters and one brother: Betty, Gladys, and Ralph Brooks. A memorial service will be held at the Brettschneider-Trettin-Lederer Funeral Chapel on Monday, April 9th, at 3:30 p.m. with Pastor Dave Vande Hey officiating. Friends may call at the funeral chapel one hour before services begin. Rather than flowers, the family would appreciate a donation being made to the Fox Valley Humane Association in Margaret's name. The Stray Burly with exclamations of joy, he greets me as if I were kin he had not seen in years. His coat has lost its shine, but hope burns in his eyes and I who have known hope before say now-now-now, not daring to tell him outright what I already know; that before the day is finished, I will deliver him up to the pound and walking away feel the sad question mark his eyes aimed squarely at my back. He is wondering why when he offered his all I took so little leaving the great feast of his love to be spread for someone else. Perhaps ... Margaret Frommherz Brettschneider-Trettin-Lederer 606 N.
