Victor WOESTE

WOESTE, Victor Charles

Did you hear the one about the man standing at the Pearly Gates with St. Peter….?" If you knew Vic Woeste, you know he was always quick with a joke. Victor passed peacefully just shy of his 97th birthday on

Sunday morning, January 23 2022, and is now standing with St. Peter and surely giving him a good laugh.

Vic was preceded in death by his loving wife of 61 years Mildred (Sprauer), his parents Ben and Sophie (Clune) Woeste, and his three brothers Raymond, Elmer, and Walter. Surviving him are his ten children: Larry (Mary Beth) Woeste, Tom (Marianne) Woeste, Steve (Sue) Woeste, Therese (Tim) Baker, Bernie (Ann) Woeste, Mark (Connie) Woeste, Rita Woeste, Martha (Tom) Tangeman, Jerry (Laura) Woeste, and Jim (Stephanie) Woeste. He is also

survived by 20 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. Additional he is survived by two goats named after him—Victor and Victoria!
