Frederic Relien Obituary

Frederic Robert Relien

Neenah - Frederic R. Relien, 81, passed away on Sunday, July 4, 2021, at his home. He was born on October 8, 1939, in Neenah, the son of Frederick and Mae (Schroeder) Relien. Frederic was united in marriage to Patricia Reinhardt on July 23, 1962, in Waukegan, IL, they would have been married for 59 years this year. He was employed with Banta Publishing Company for 43 years, and was a member of Martin Luther Church, Neenah. Fred was an avid duck, pheasant, and deer hunter. Though Fred was an accomplished marksman, everyone close to him knew that hunting was about family and friends enjoying time together in God's beautiful woodlands and fields. For Fred, it was always about making family memories.

Frederic is survived by his wife: Pat; a son: Scott Relien, a son-in-law: Steve Voissem; grandchildren: Tyler (Vera) Voissem; Troy (Elizabeth) Voissem; Eric Relien; and Evan Relien. Brother Richard (Sue) Relien and sister; Joan (Jack) Radtke. Sisters-in-law Jeanine and Carol Reinhardt.

Frederic was preceded in death by his parents and a daughter: Jill Voissem (Relien). Brothers-in-law; Roger Reinhardt, Irene Reinhardt, Robert Reinhardt, Jerome Reinhardt, and Wayne Reinhardt.

In accordance with Frederic's wishes, no services will be held.

Frederic's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to AseraCare and the Neenah V.N.A.

The Relien family wishes to thank the many friends and family members who, by their presence, brought great joy to Fred and our extended family over the years. Family and friends are the cornerstones of a meaningful Well Lived Life, in this regard, Fred was generously blessed.

We are so sorry to hear of Fred's passing. We both worked with Fred at Banta. Dad was just asking if I knew how Fred was doing and with hesitation I googled Fred only to find his recent passing. We pray for comfort and strength during this time. May GOD be with you.

So long to the last of the original hunters on Mallard Lane, Lake Poygan. Surely Fred and Pete are reminiscing about the ducks, deer & fishing. RIP Fred. Our thoughts are with your family at this sad time.
