It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother at age 94. Florence (Buchholz) Wolfgram was taken by God’s hand to her eternal home on May 26, 2015. She was born on April 9, 1921, in Shawano, to Walter and Alma Buchholz. On May 4, 1946, she married Leo Wolfgram in Shawano.
Florence had an unwavering faith in God. Her faith could be heard in her openly praying to the Lord in the evening. She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Gillett. Over the years she became involved with church and assisted in making quilts, baking for events and folding bulletins. She passed her unconditional faith and skills onto her children. Florence looked forward to senior citizen lunches at “Over the Hill in Underhill.”
God saw the road was getting rough and hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace Be Thine.”
Someday we hope to meet her. Someday we know not when. To clasp her hand in the better land — Never to part again.
Florence was preceded in death by her husband, Leo, and brother, Harry “Butch” Buchholz.
She is survived by her children, Gerry (Harriet) Wolfgram, Tom (Nancy) Wolfgram, Connie (Dan) Sieverding, Lana Prusik; grandchildren, Tracie, Eric (Shana), Ryan (Christina), Kristi (Faron), Philip (Miranda); five great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends.
Friends called from 4-5:30 p.m. Friday, May 29, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Gillett. Funeral services were held at 5:30 p.m. with Pastor Doreen Jeffers officiating. Internment was at Wanderers Rest Cemetery followed.
The family wishes to extend great gratitude to the staff at Meadowlands and Hospice for their continued support in her final days.
