Obituary
Inez Jackie Noffke, of Neenah, age 86 passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2010. Jackie will be elated to finally be reunited with John, the love of her life, to whom she had been married for 60 years. For all those years Jackie was an integral part of the lumber and construction related businesses that she and John ran together as a team . Besides being a full-time business woman, Jackie was a full-time dedicated Mom of five children and a very involved grandmother. She spent many hours during her lifetime guiding numerous grandchildren through problems, cooking lessons, games and fun that only Grandma could provide. In addition to ski weekends at Brule with the children, she also found time to pursue creative skills making many crewel pictures, crochet, beautiful hand-made Christmas ornaments, hand painted nativity sets and doll collecting to name a few. Jackies lively conversations with guests and friends always left the visitor feeling better then when they came. Oh and by the way, back in the day she could shoot a gun and fish with the best of them. Jackie has touched so many lives with her wit, wisdom, and friendship that she will truly be missed by all. Our greatest comfort is in knowing that Jackie is finally reunited with John. Survivors include four children: Mary Bednarowski, Peter (Trish) Noffke, Jennifer (Ollie) Griese, Jayne (Bill) Wilde; a daughter-in-law, Laurie Noffke; nine grandchildren: Renee Noffke, Jereme Noffke, Katy Bednarowski, Alex Bednarowski, Christopher Bednarowski, Cheri (Craig) Smith, Christine (Tim) Boehnlein, Richard (Jill) Noffke, Michael Noffke and special friend Dana; eleven great-grandchildren; a sister Beatrice Hiler, brother-in-law Paul (Judy) Noffke. She was preceded in death by her husband, John; a son, Thomas; a brother, Milan Endter; three sisters: Lolita Berg, Evelyn Narf, and Marcella Koehnke. The funeral will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 2010, at Menashas Westgor Funeral Home, with Rev. Richard I. Krahn II officiating. Relatives and friends may call on Thursday from 1 p.m. until the hour of the service. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m., location to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society in Jackies name would be greatly appreciated.

To all of John and Jackie siblings. You have my sincere sympathy. I will be having company from AZ coming on Thursday,but my thoughts will be with you. Your parents were the greatest! They helped me get started in the construction business.

My prayers are with the family. I got to know Jackie about a year ago after purchasing a vacant lot on Darrow Road. She made me feel welcome as we exchanged stories and she even enjoyed seeing some of my photos. Loved her "Snowbabe" email address and it sounded so cute when she told me that John was "Snowman". I know she shared how anxious she was to meet up with John again and truly belive they are reunited in Christ.
