Evelyn Odelia Fluetsch

Evelyn Odelia Fluetsch, age 95, passed away in her sleep, Monday, February 23, 2026, at Orchard Manor.

She was born on January 4, 1931, to Jacob and Josephine McQuiston near Alma, Wisconsin. As a young woman, she worked for the sheriff and cooked meals for the inmates. Evelyn met and married Don Fluetsch. They moved to Cassville, Wisconsin, where Don was employed by Dairyland Power. Their only child, Nancy, was born March 11, 1954. Evelyn was active in the Methodist Church and various civic organizations. The family enjoyed many vacations. Don especially had a wanderlust. They had traveled to most of the states in the union by the time Nancy graduated from high school.

Throughout her life, Evelyn enjoyed cooking and baking. Neighborhood children could always tell when there were fresh cookies.

Nancy married and gave Evelyn her most prized gift, a granddaughter, Janet, who often accompanied them on vacations.

Later in life, Don and Evelyn enjoyed wintering in Florida and attending bluegrass music festivals.

Evelyn is survived by two sisters, Corabelle Schlesser and Eva May Golden, two brothers, Jacob, McQuiston and Richard McQuiston, son- in-law, Larry Bontreger and granddaughter, Janet Townsend and her husband Patrick Townsend.
