The most loyal, loving, hardest working, strongest-willed, and dedicated wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend anyone could ask for, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2024. She was a beacon of strength, loyalty, and love, whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Her greatest joys in life were her family and her six wonderful grandchildren. She cherished every moment spent watching them grow, attending their events, and supporting and cheering them on. Her birthday cakes, lovingly made for each grandchild, will be especially missed, as will her famous pickles.

A talented musician, she played the organ for over 40 years between two churches, sang in the choir, and played for countless weddings, sharing her love of music with her community. Her dedication to her church, school, and community was unwavering, always ready to step in and lend a helping hand.

For the past four and a half years, she battled cancer with remarkable strength, dignity, and courage. Throughout her illness, she never let her faith waver, providing peace and comfort to her family. Though she is no longer with us on earth, we find solace in knowing she is free from struggle and that we will see her again in our eternal home.

Her legacy of love, faith, and dedication will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She leaves behind a loving husband, Timothy, her children Tina (Jon) Wunder, Adam (Amanda) Schwaderer and her grandchildren William, Paxton, and Archie Wunder and Everett, Millianna, and Gentrie Schwaderer; siblings: Virginia (Larry) Gunderson, Van (Dorothy) Spease, and Vince (Amy) Spease; and many others who were blessed to know her.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Resilient Faith

Through the storm, your faith held strong,
A melody of hope, a steadfast song.
In every battle, your spirit soared,
With faith as your shield, you never ignored.
Resilience and faith, hand in hand,
Guiding you through, a promised land.

And a very special thank you to all her friends and family who supported and loved her along the way.
