Obituary

Nancy Ann Wriedt was granted her angel wings on Tuesday, Sept 7, 2021, at home. Her final days were surrounded by family that Nancy had touched so deeply throughout her very memorable life. Nancy was born on Aug. 18, 1945, in Sheboygan, Wis. She was the daughter of the late Daniel and Mildred (Schneider) Dhein. Nancy graduated from Kiel High School in 1963, where she met the love of her life, Roger Wriedt. Nancy and Roger married in 1964 and were blessed with three children. Nancy and Roger were the owners of Kiel Town House restaurant from 1973-1976. Throughout her working career she was employed at Drake & Company in Madison where she celebrated 25 years and managed the sister company Secretarial Careers with her mentor and dear friend, Leanne Starr. After her retirement, she was so proud to work as a unit clerk at Agrace HospiceCare in Madison where she met so many wonderful and beloved friends. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Nancy. Nothing brought her more happiness then being with her husband, Roger, and her family. Her warm, contagious personality and amazing sense of humor were just a few incredible qualities that made so many that knew her feel loved. Even in her final days, she continued to crack jokes and help lighten the mood for those around her. Nancy faced a 20-year battle with cancer. Despite the pain she endured, she always fought with much strength and came out with a smile. She will leave behind a beautiful legacy. Nancy was a member of St. Dennis Catholic Church. She enjoyed reading, golfing, camping and spending time on her back patio enjoying nature. Nancy and Roger loved their Friday night fish fry's together and Nancy always looked forward to "sister-weekends." Most of all, Nancy cherished time with her family and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nancy is survived by two sons, Kevin Wriedt of Madison and Rick (Becky) Wriedt of Oregon, Wis.; daughter, Paula (Jim) Roberts of Oregon, Wis.; six grandchildren, Erica (Eric) Schuch, Derik (DeeDee Maier) Wriedt, Erin Wriedt, Lexi Roberts, Sydona Roberts and Carleigh Roberts; two great-grandchildren, Presley and Karsyn Schuch; three sisters, Janice (Dick) Fogeltanz of Two Rivers, Wis., Elizabeth Scharenbroch (Tom Stahl) of Malone, Wis., and Margie (Kevin) Jones of Sheboygan, Wis.; brother, Jim (Barb) Dhein of Kiel, Wis., sister-in-law, Cheri Dhein of New Holstein, Wis.; and many nieces and nephews.

David and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Roger and his family. I didn't see Nancy often but we always out in touch for her birthday through email. We both graduated with Nancy. I slept over at her home in Kiel and she at my home in Edwards. One thing I do remember is the song 'Big Girls Do Cry'. She loved that song at least in her Senior year in high school. Again so sorry to hear of her passing. David & Helen Schmitz
