Donna Wegener Obituary

Donna M. Wegener, 88, of Oshkosh, passed away at Park View Health Center with her daughters at her side on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. Donna was born September 16, 1928 in Oshkosh to Oscar and Esther (Sonnenberg) Potratz. She married Donald C. Wegener on April 3, 1948 and he preceded her in death on January 7, 1987.

Prior to her stroke, Donna enjoyed Friday cocktails and dinner out with her daughter and son-in-law, shopping with her daughter, having her son complete her to-do list during his visits, and doing anything she could for her granddaughters. She had a large vegetable garden each year and shared the bounty with her family and friends. She also enjoyed reading, jigsaw puzzles and looked forward to completing the Jumble puzzle in the newspaper each day.

Surviving Donna are her son, Craig (Kathy) Wegener, her daughters, Lynn (Daryl) Schuhart and Kathy Pollack, and her granddaughters, Nicole (Ian Hawkins) Pollack, Kristin Pollack and Michelle (Jeff Van) Pollack.

In addition to her husband, Donna was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, George Potratz and Donald Potratz.

A funeral service will be held at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home- Eastside (402 Waugoo Ave.) on Tuesday, January 3, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Visitation will be held from 11:30 a.m. until the time of service.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Park View staff, especially Lakeside 1, for their loving care and friendship given to Mom during her four year stay.

In lieu of flowers a memorial has been established.
