Wegner, Regina (6 Apr. 1913 – 2 Apr. 2008)

Regina "Jean" Wegner passed away Wednesday, April 2, 2008, at Aspirus Wausau Hospital just shy of her 95th birthday.

Jean was born April 6, 1913, in Glidden to the late Anton and Amelia (Eder) Killinger. Along with her five brothers and nine sisters, she worked hard on the family farm. On July 1, 1939, Jean married Herbert Wegner in Milwaukee. They began raising their family in Milwaukee, where Herbert was in the tool and die industry. The Wegner family purchased their own family farm in Spencer. Jean was known for the wonderful food she cooked for family and friends along with her talent for sewing and needlework. She took great pride in growing her own vegetables and flowers. Herb and Jean retired to Otter Lake in Elcho where they continued gardening, and took great enjoyment in the many visitors who came.

Survivors include her husband, Herbert of Wausau; two daughters, Pauline (Ted) Schnese of Stoughton and Kathryn (Dr. Earl) Zabel of Wausau; one son, Paul (Sharon) Wegner of Eleva; six grandchildren, Therese (Michael) Magnus, Nicole (Scott) Bruer, Christopher (Jenny) Zabel, Marla (fiance, Jason Kolbeck) Zabel, Wendy (Dan) Engum and Lana (Loren) Westphal; five great-grandchildren, Phillip, Natalie, Benjamin, Riley and Reece; and two sisters, Amelia Messier of Sacramento, Calif., and Gertrude Myott of Atlanta.
