- Kristine Marie (Kussow) Meulemans, 44, Wrightstown, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 17, 2015 at her home following a courageous 8 year battle with cancer. She was born April 3, 1971 in Green Bay, daughter to Norbert and Elizabeth "Betty" (Nettekoven) Kussow. She graduated from Wrightstown High School in 1989 and received her Associate Degree from NWTC. Kris worked at Humana for 15 years. She was well-known for being Brown County Dairy Promotions Coordinator and was known as the "Dairy Lady" or "Miss Moo". She had a goal to present to more than 10,000 kids in one year, a goal she took great pride in achieving.
Kris enjoyed walking, running (she ran a 10K with her kids while she was in treatment), and home projects. One of the many ways she left the world a more beautiful place was how she took care of her garden and yard. Her yard was the "unofficial" Wrightstown Beautification Project. She also loved traveling, especially to the beach. The sun helped her feel better and made her smile.
Kris brought joy to everyone. Her smile and love for others was contagious and everybody loved being around her. Kris always looked for opportunities to help others, even until the end. Kris' greatest joy was being a Mom. She loved her children and cherished spending time with them.
She will be deeply missed by her parents, Norbert and Betty Kussow; her wonderful children: Jason Meulemans, Tori Meulemans, Jon Meulemans, and Nicole Meulemans, all at home; the father her children, Terry Meulemans; her loving siblings: Kevin Kussow, Rod (Maria) Kussow, Julie (Rob) Peterson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, many friends; and close, dear friends: Jill, Tina, Kamie, and Jenny.
