Margaret Bartlett Obituary

Bartlett, Margaret (Nee Bergwall) Margaret Louise "Peggy" Bartlett (Nee Bergwall) died peacefully while listening to Puccini's One Fine Day with daughter Margaret Ann on March 5, 2019. She was with us for 94 years.

Peggy, wife of Cletus Hasslinger (deceased) and Harvey Bartlett (deceased) is survived by her children with Cletus; Mary Weber of Door County, Mark Hasslinger of Oconomowoc, Michael (Gayle) Hasslinger of Waukesha, Cletus Hasslinger of Milwaukee, Margaret Kleis Wittkopp of Plymouth, Monica Hasslinger of Hartland, Elaine Hasslinger of Glendale, Therese Bublitz of Clinton, WA, David (Carol) Hasslinger of Pawtucket, RI, Bernadette Hasslinger of Syosset, NY, Elizabeth Hasslinger (Michael) of Wenatchee, WA and Bridgette (Leonard III) Crego of Glendale. Peggy is further survived by 29 grandchildren and great grandchildren and her sister, Charlotte Planer of Arizona. Peggy was preceded in death by granddaughter, Ann Marie Kleis and grandson, Terrence Weber.

Peggy was devoted to her Catholic Faith and the Schoenstatt Movement. She also left us her many works of art and shared her love of art with her children and with the students and teachers she served as a teacher's aide. In her last days, recordings of Luciano Pavarotti and Leontyne Price were brought to Peggy. Upon first hearing their voices, and after several days of being unable to speak, Peggy, in a clear voice, said, "We're living high in the sky now. I'll swing with it long as I can."

Please gather from 9:30 AM until the time of Mass at 11 AM. Interment to follow at St. Charles Cemetery on Hill Street.

In lieu of flowers, memorials directed to Maryknoll Missionaries, the Schoenstatt Movement, St. Charles Catholic Church or the charity of one's choice would be appreciated.

Peggy's children and friends want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Kindred Hearts Assisted Living, Plymouth and to Nicholas Hospice, Sheboygan, for their kindness and diligence in caring for Peggy.

She will be greatly missed, and i loved her dearly. She always had a beautiful smile, and held your hand tightly as she was talking to you. Loved all of her stories. And she aways talked about all her amazing kids she had. I loved working with her. My heart breaks for her family. So sorry about your loss. She was an amazing woman. Lots of Prayers, Love, and Hugs through this difficult time. She will always be in my heart and never forgotten.

I spent so much time at Mrs. Hasslinger's home growing up, I felt like she was my second mother. Always kind and caring with a ready smile no matter what was happening. May God bless her soul forever. My deepest condolences to all the Hasslingers.

To all my Hasslinger and Bergwall cousins and Aunt Charlotte,
My heart is with all of you today. I am sure there will be a lot of "Irish Eyes Smiling" today amid the tears. We will all miss Aunt Peggy, the true matriarch of the Bergwall Clan. My fondest memory of her is coming down the back stairs at the farm to the smell of her cherry breakfast pastry. I wish Terry and I could be with you . Mary Beth Westerbeke

To all my Hasslinger and Bergwall cousins and Aunt Charlotte,

My heart is with all of you today. I know there will be a lot of Irish Eyes Smiling today mixed in with tears. We will all miss Aunt Peggy, the true Matriarch of the Bergwall clan. My fondest memory of her was coming down the back stairs at the farm to the smell of her cherry breakfast pastry delicacy. I wish Terry and I could be with you today. Love, Mary Beth
