Cloe Wentzel Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Cleo A. Wentzel (Cornelius)-beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother-announces that she has been reunited with her cherished husband, Wally, and son, Garry, on Friday, November 7, 2025.
Cleo was employed at Wisconsin National Life until the company closed in 1993. She later worked at Theda Clark Medical Library until her retirement in 1999, when she began enjoying her love for camping and traveling with her best friend, Wally. If they weren't exploring the states in their RV during the summer, they took great pleasure in serving as campground hosts at various Wisconsin state parks. During the winter months, they resided in Polo Park East near Orlando, Florida, where they enjoyed working together at Disney World and participating in the many activities offered in their 55+ community.
In addition to exploring the United States, Cleo and Wally had the opportunity to visit Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, the British Isles, New Zealand, and Australia.
Cleo will be forever remembered by her cherished children: sons Steve (Cindy) and Jim (Karen), and daughter Amy (Larry) Krueger; grandchildren Nikki (Ryan) Braun, Ryan (Courtney) Krueger, Rachael (fiancé Alex Bucholtz), Andy Wentzel, Kyle (Emma) Wentzel, Jonas Wentzel, Gwynnie Wentzel, Luke (Missy) Wentzel, and Sam (Matilda) Wentzel; and great-grandchildren Lilli and Levi Braun, Gavin and Kennedy Krueger, and Wesley and Ellie Kay Wentzel. She is also survived by her brothers Jerry (Pat) Cornelius and David (Marsha) Cornelius; her sister Jo Anne Woodford; and sister-in-law Karen Ross.
Cleo was preceded in death by her loving husband of 58 years, Wally Wentzel; her parents, George and Cleona Cornelius; her in-laws, Oscar and Katheryn Wentzel; a son, Garry F. Wentzel; and her brother, Skip Cornelius.
Honoring her wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no service.
