Verna L. Tesch, age 92, Schofield, died on Monday, February 16th, 2009.
She was born November 18, 1916 in Elderon, the daughter of the late Herman
and Ella (Falstad) Hanke.
On May 25, 1946, Verna was united in marriage with Raymond W. Tesch.
They raised their family in the Tesch family home in Schofield.
Raymond passed away in 1991.
Verna was employed in the men’s department at Pranges in Wausau for several
years after the store opened. She was a homemaker and a loving mother who found time
to bake, crochet, and sew. She loved competing at the Wisconsin Valley Fair, where
her bake goods and sewing won many blue ribbons. A feature story in the Wausau Daily
Herald in 1986 highlighted Verna’s crocheted snowflake Christmas ornaments. She gave willingly of her talents, one of which was to participate in the Dress a Doll program at
Wausau bank each year. She always made at least two outfits for the doll because she knew every little girl would want her doll to have a change of clothes.
Survivors include her children: Chuck (Darlean)Tesch, Pensecola, Fl., Barbara
(Fred) Prindle, Prior Lake, Mn., Laura (Phil) Konrady, Eldridge, Ia., and Janet
(Oiden) Gonzalez, Schofield; six grandchildren: Erin (Dirk) Eneboe, New Richmond, Wi., Danielle Tesch, Newark, De., Christopher, Matthew, and Stephanie Konrady, Eldridge, Ia., and Lillian Gonzalez, Schofield.
She is also survived by four sisters; Gladys Cameron, Tripoli, Carol Patton, Appleton,
Rose Mielke, Seymour, Lorraine (Sheldon) Zoelk, Appleton; one brother; Donald O.
Hanke, Elderon, one sister-in-law; Jennie Tesch, Schofield, and one brother-in-law;
Norman (Bud) Tesch, Rothschild, nieces, nephews, and friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, Verna was preceded in death by one daughter,
one sister; Violet Ranke, three brothers; Gordon, Harold, Raymond, and Alfred (Swede) Hanke, brothers-in-law; Bob Cameron, James Patton, Robert Mielke, Myron Tesch, and Donald Tesch, sisters-in law Ruth Hanke and Gladys Tesch, two nephews; Paul Hanke and Herb Hanke and one niece; Donna Tesch.
