Jean Nest Obituary
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 3:00 pm on Thursday May 10, 2012 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Marshfield. Rev. Peter Manickam will officiate and music will be provided by Sacred Heart Church Funeral Choir. Burial will take place in Gate of Heaven Cemetery. The visitation will be held on Thursday from 1:30 pm until service time at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Rembs Funeral Home is assisting the family.
Jean was born on January 21, 1922 in Halder, the daughter of Martin and Julia (Alt) McHugh, where she attended St. Robert's Catholic School. She was united in marriage to Gordon J. Nest on July 8, 1941 at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Halder. He died on October 14, 2005.
Jean was a housewife, raised their five children and cooked for all on the farm. She and her husband farmed in the Nasonville area from 1951 until 1972 when their son Richard took over operation of the farm.
Jean and Gordon enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and had visited practically every state. She volunteered as a Gray Lady at St. Joseph's Hospital for twelve years. She will be fondly remembered for the holiday family gatherings at their home and she LOVED to go out to eat with family and friends.
She is lovingly survived by three daughters and two sons, Janet Bongey of West Bend, Donald (Mary Ellen) Nest of Carlsbad, CA, Violet (fiancé - Richard Liddicoat) Gasper of Boynton Beach, FL, Richard (Donna) Nest of Nasonville and Audrey (Bill) Diebels, Jr. of Juneau, AK. She is also survived by fourteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She is further survived by a sister, Faith Mayer of White Bear Lake, MN, two sisters-in-law, her guardian angels, Margaret "Peg" McHugh of Marshfield and Delores "Mutzie" Nest of Mosinee, and her dear friend, Irene James at the Aster Community.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Gordon, brothers, Gordon "Buddy", Robert "Bob", Patrick, and James "Jimmy" McHugh, and sons-in-law, Jim Gasper and Leon Bongey.
The family wishes to extend special thanks to the caring staff at Aster Retirement Community, Marshfield.
