Obituary for Grace E. Aubert
Grace E. Aubert, 93, resident of Frederic, WI died Thursday, October 20, 2011 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.
A love story continues… On October 11, 2011, Grace E. Aubert celebrated her 93rd birthday. Then on October 20th she left to meet her husband who was waiting for her in heaven.
Grace was born in 1918 to Rollie and Jessie Haines in Rush City, Minnesota. She grew up living on the family farm with her parents, grandparents and great-grandfather.
She attended the one-room Brickyard Country School near her home and later the Rush City High School. She left high school early to help support the large extended family at home.
Mellvin (Shorty) Aubert decided when Grace was in the first grade that he was going to marry her, and he did. On May 31, 1941, Grace and Mell were married at her family home. They moved to Luck, Wisconsin, and several years later to Frederic where they spent the rest of their lives together. They raised their two children, Joe Aubert of Frederic and Rosella Aubert Christensen of Bridgeport, Nebraska.
Grace was always the heart of her family. She filled her home with love, warmth, and security. Her spirit-filled life revolved around her husband, Mell (who preceded her in death in 2002), her children, Joe and Rosella, her grandchildren, Dr. Michael (Joan) Christensen and Joey (Leland) Dohse, all of Bridgeport, Nebraska and her great-grandchildren, Bodhi Michael Dohse, Sophie Grace Christensen, and Emma Grace Dohse.
Other family preceding her in death are her parents, Rollie and Jessie Haines, in-laws, Frank and Olive Aubert, sister, Gertrude (Stanley) Althoff, brother, Meryl (Naomi) Haines, in-laws, Clifford (Mae) Aubert and Carol (Jacob) Wanner, and niece, Rogene Millard.
Funeral services were held at St. Dominics Catholic Church in Frederic, WI on Tuesday, October 25, with Father Dennis Mullen officiating. Music was provided by soloists, Terri Stoner and Kathy Tweet and organist, Mary Lou Daeffler. Interment immediately followed at the St. Dominics Catholic Cemetery next to Grace’s husband Mell. Pallbearers assisting were Al Madsen, Jerry Hackett, Bruce Tromberg, Jeff Moats, Ronnie Nyren, and Francis Meyer. Honorary Pallbearers were Dewayne Meyer, Bob Weinzierl, Glenn Meier, Kenny Hackett and Dennis Bohn.
