Marcella M. “Sally” Pade, 84, of Lomira, was called to her Heavenly home on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac.
She was born on December 15, 1924, in Fond du Lac county, the daughter of the late Hubert and Eda (Kutz) Schultz. Sally was baptized at St. Luke’s in Oakfield and confirmed at St Paul’s Lutheran Church in Brownsville. She attended Winnebago Lutheran Academy her freshman year and was a graduate of Oakfield High School.
On April 14, 1945, she married the love of her life, Wesley Pade at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Brownsville. Sally and Wesley owned and operated a Wisconsin Century Farm in Lomira from 1938-1984. They received multiple awards for their registered-pure bred Holstein cattle.
Sally was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Lomira and the Ladies Aid. She was a very active lady. Sally enjoyed bowling and belonged to the Brownsville Couples and Ladies Leagues. She frequently scored 600s. She played cards several times a week and was Vice President of the Thursday Legion Card Club. She enjoyed weekends at the lake house and sunsets on the water-even though she claimed that her farm house sunsets were the best! She never missed a Brewer or Packer game, enjoyed cooking for her family and a good glass of wine. We all loved her beef tips!
Survivors include Wesley Pade, her loving husband of 64 years; her daughter, Beverly (Mark) Feucht of Fond du Lac; her son, Steve (Jane Gomery) of Burlingame, California; four grandsons, Major Chad (Jennifer) Feucht of Anchorage, Alaska, Jeremy (Coleen) Feucht of Fond du Lac, Colin Pade of San Luis Obispo, California and Russell Gomery of Chico, California; four great-grandchildren, Hunter and Ariel Feucht both of Anchorage, Alaska, Grayson and Sianna Feucht both of Fond du Lac; a brother-in-law, Donald Mac Intosh of Menlo Park, California; a niece, Melisa (Jay) Orlando of San Jose, California; a nephew, Ross Mac Intosh of Menlo Park, California; a first cousin, Gladys (Marvin) Heimerl of Brownsville who was like a sister, being raised by Sally’s parents, other relatives and many friends.
In addition to her parents, Sally was preceded in death by a sister, Marion (Gilbert) Pieper on December 20, 2004 and a sister-in-law, Dr. Shirley Pade Mac Intosh.
Funeral services for Sally were held on Tuesday, March 10, 2009, at 7:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 550 Water Sreet in Lomira. Rev. Dan Schmidt officiated and private entombment was on Wednesday in Shrine of Rest Mausoleum in Fond du Lac.
Relatives and friends called on Tuesday at the church from 4:00 p.m. until the time of services.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. John’s Lutheran Church or the Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac are appreciated.
Sally was a shining light in the lives of her family and friends. We will miss her humor, her smile, her love of sunsets, her caring touch and her kindness. She will now watch over us from heaven.
