Obituary for Muriel D. Nielsen
Muriel Nielsen, most recently of the Good Samaritan Society Home in St. Croix Falls, WI, died Wednesday, November 26, 2008, at the age of 84. Muriel was born on November 9, 1924, to Victor and Cora Gregersen in the Township of Bone Lake. She married Everett Nielsen on June 3, 1944. She spent the majority of her adult life on a family homestead, known to all family members affectionately as, “the farm” in Luck, WI. After her husband’s death in 1978, Muriel found herself joining the workforce after being a loving, supportive housewife for 34 years. Muriel will be remembered for her love of nature, finding rare agates, bird watching, and gardening. She enjoyed taking care of her family and being involved with their lives. She also enjoyed traveling, whether it was to visit her son in Washington, her daughter in North Carolina, or even driving to the Grand Canyon with her friend. In 1998, she moved to Osceola, WI, to be closer to her youngest daughter Sue. Muriel eventually moved to the L.O. Simenstead Nursing Home and spent her final days at the Good Samaritan Society Home. She was known at Good Samaritan as the spunky woman with a great sense of humor. Muriel will be sadly missed by everyone whose lives she touched. Muriel was preceded in death by her loving husband of 34 years, Everett; her son, Roger; her grandson, Joel Nielsen; her mother and father, Victor and Cora Gregersen; her brothers, Gordon and Jerome Gregersen, and her sister, Doris LeValley. Muriel is survived by her 4 children, Wayne (Patricia) Nielsen, Kathy Weigel, Alan (Ann) Nielsen, and Susan (Harlan) Bach; 10 grandchildren, Laurie Johnson, Julie Bowman, Scott Nielsen, Tammie Nielsen, Kerri Seemann, Josh Nielsen, Ben Nielsen, Jennie Weigel, Andrew Bach, and Matthew Bach; 6 great grandchildren, Zachary Johnson, Alex Bowman, Reid Bowman, Isabelle Bowman, Natalie Nielsen and Jorgen Nielsen; sisters, Ardyce Kiekhoefer, Vivian Schilling, Irene Dahlquist and Beverly Berlin, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at St. Peters Lutheran Church, North Luck, WI, on Saturday, November 29th, at 11:00 AM; visitation will precede the service beginning at 10:00 AM. Rowe Funeral Home of Luck, Wisconsin, was entrusted with funeral arrangements. For information call 715-472-2444.
