Gerald Liebergen Obituary
Jerry was born at home in Wayside, WI on September 6, 1937, to Norbert and Adele (Eichhorst) Liebergen. He grew up working on his parents' farm, graduated from Reedsville, Class of '55, and at 17, enlisted in the Navy. An injury soon ended his military service, but he found a successful and rewarding career in agribusiness (Surge, Wayne Feeds/ Allied Mills/ Continental Grain, Hubbard Milling, Golden Sun Feeds, QTI, ATR). Jerry loved his work, enjoyed chatting with farmers and feed dealers, and managing, training and leading his team of salesmen. In retirement, he drove for Kutz Livery.
On July 5, 1957, Jerry married his high school sweetheart, Marlene Prochnow, at St. John-St. James Lutheran Church, Reedsville. They were blessed with 61 years of marriage, four children, six grandchildren, 11 great-, and two great-great-grands. Jerry enjoyed having horses and playing polo, golfing, travelling, and cards (especially Sheepshead). He was a faithful member of Bethany Lutheran Church, and served in many ways.
Survivors include daughters Lauren (John) Spenner and Lane, and son Lon; sisters Patricia (Marvin) Krahn, JoAnn (Dick) Stelzer; brother-in-law Terry (Karen) Prochnow. Jerry was preceded in death by Marlene, son Lance, his parents, parents-in-law Elmer and Gertrude Prochnow, many brothers- and sisters-in-law, and two grandsons.
Visitation will be at Bethany Lutheran Church in Fort Atkinson, Thursday, November 14, 10-12:00, with service to follow. Entombment will take place at 2 p.m., Friday, November 15 at Knollwood in Manitowoc.
Memorials may be made to Bethany or CLCA.
