Obituary:
Donald Wickesberg was born in Black Creek, WI on January 19, 1932. He was born to Launce and Viola Wickesberg (nee: Grunwaldt). Donald died at Cherry Meadows with his wife, Marnna, at his side holding his hand. On May 2, 2012, they had been married 48 years. She loved him dearly and was always proud of him. Donald went to Seymour High School, and was very involved in sports. He went on to the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and was in ROTC. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He then joined The United States Air Force and became a 1st Lieutenant Pilot. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force reserve as a Captain. Donald worked at Ethel Corp. in Detroit, and then was transferred to San Bernardino, CA. Loving Wisconsin, Donald moved back to Black Creek his home town, and got a job in Neenah. Along the way, he met a girl from Racine, and they eventually got married. Several years later, he went to work at TEC Systems, Inc. in DePere, WI. Donald retired at age 59. He decided that it was time to do some things he had always wanted to do, and help out his family in any way he could. I don't think there was anything he couldn't do. We are both Christians, and are members of St. Marks Lutheran Church in Neenah. Donald was a very honest and humble man, and always supported those in need. He will be missed by many. Survivors include his wife, Marnna, his sister, Janice (Wickesberg) Waltman, El Paso, TX, brother, Bruce Wickesberg, Albuquerque, NM, nephews, Joel and Jeff Huhn, David and Mark Wickesberg, and Brian Wickesberg, nieces, Susan (Waltman) Sanchez, Nancy (Waltman) Vigil, Jerilyn Huhn, Shelley (Wickesberg) Johnston, Brenda (Wickesberg) Bestamen, Cathi (Wickesberg) Purcella, Lori (Copple) Gallagher, Teri (Copple) Peterson, and his friends, Courtney, Caitlin and his golf buddy, Conner, brothers-in-law, Jerry Huhn and John Fenn and sisters-in-law, Sandra Wickesberg and Kathleen Fenn. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Gerald Wickesberg, sister, Joyce (Wickesberg) Huhn, mother-in-law, Helene Sorensen, father-in-law, Alfred Sorensen, brothers-in-law, Robert Waltman and Jack Sorensen and sister-in-law, Shirley Wickesberg. A memorial service for Donald will be held on Friday, May 25, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Marks Ev. Lutheran Church, 140 S. Green Bay Rd., Neenah with the Rev. Stephen Dietzler officiating.

Thank you to our neighbors, the Wileys, Woldts, and Carlsons. Thank you, dear friend, Carole Halverson, who was with me and Donald from morning to morning, and also when Donald went to meet Jesus. Thank you Jon, for always being there for us and supporting Carole. God Bless you.
My dear Donald, I will love you forever, and will always be your wife. Someday we will meet again. Love, Marnna.
If you want your loved one to leave in love, compassion and dignity, choose Cherry Meadows.

God saw he was getting tired And cure was not to be;
So he put His arms around him And whispered "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away;
Although we loved him dearly We couldn't make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!
