Kathleen Dressel Obituary
Kathleen A. Dressel
CHIPPEWA FALLS - Kathleen A. Dressel of Chippewa Falls, WI went to her eternal home in heaven with Jesus on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 with family by her side, loving and supporting her.
She was born April 27, 1945 in Chippewa Falls to John and Beryl (Willmarth) Gerber. In 1963 she graduated from Chippewa Falls High School. Kathi married her high school sweetheart, Bruce Dressel on February 8, 1964 at Eagleton Lutheran Church. They enjoyed traveling and were able to visit each of the 50 United States, Canada, in addition to 10 European countries and Isreal.
Kathi was employed by the postal service in Jim Falls and Chippewa Falls for 25 years, retiring at age 47.
Kathi's greatest love besides God and her family was her church family at Chippewa Valley Bible Church, they loved her so dearly. She was involved in bible studies, singing groups and Ruby's Pantry to name a few. People were very near and dear to her heart, she was always trying to do something for someone. Some of her favorite ways to pass time was reading her Bible, playing her organ, playing cards and games with family and friends.
We would also like to thank the Medical Staff at Marshfield Hospital in Weston, WI for their amazing care of our mother and grandmother.
Kathi is preceded in death by her loving husband of 56 years, Bruce Dressel; parents, John and Beryl Gerber; sister, Ida Mae Cohoon; and nephew, Robert McEathron.
Kathi is survived by her son, Craig (Becky) and grandchildren: Tyler, Braden, Jessa and Brihan Dressel; daughter, Staci (Jim) Sullivan and grandchildren: Hunter, Cameron and Jayden; sisters: Pat (Jerry) McEathron, Deb (Loren) Bergeron; brother, Mike (Julie) Gerber; and many nieces and nephews.
Service will be held Friday, February 10, 2023 at Chippewa Valley Bible Church at 11:30 a.m. with Pastor Troy officiating. Visitation will be from 10:30 a.m. until the time of service. Luncheon to follow the service in the church dining area.
John 14:2-3
My Father's house has many rooms, if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

I had the privilege of singing with Kathy in the womens choir group called "Reflections". She was a beautiful person inside and out. As our friendship grew, she volunteered her time every other Thursday to play piano and have a hymn sing along with the residents at the Dove Healthcare Rutledge Home, where she continued to shine her love upon these elderly people.
