Obituary
Ellen M. (Dorow) Kluge, age 86 of Neenah, went to be with her Savior on Thursday, January 28, 2016. Ellen was born on August 28, 1929 in Neenah, to the late Edgar and Rose Dorow. She was confirmed in 1944 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Hortonville. Her confirmation verse was Romans 8:28 “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.” She graduated from Hortonville High School in 1948.
Ellen married Marlin Kluge on May 28, 1949 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Hortonville. They wonderfully fulfilled their vows to each other and Jesus, “for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part”. They attended Martin Luther church in Neenah and were active members for over 50 years.
Ellen was meek, hardworking, big hearted and giving. She enjoyed knitting, baking, remembering special dates as well as spending time with their polka friends. Above all, Ellen deeply loved her family, grandchildren and five wonderful great-grandchildren. She enjoyed attending many of her grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's events and giving them hugs.
Ellen is survived by her husband of 66 years and 8 months, Marlin; her daughter and son-in-law, Judith and Kenneth Kemp; her grandchildren: Chad (Brooke) Kemp, Jill (Greg) Unser; and her great-grandchildren: Kaden and Kameron Kemp; and Jacob, Erica and Ashlynn Unser. She is further survived by her brothers: Marvin (Charlotte) Dorow, and Ronald (Diane) Dorow; and her sister, Mildred (Leslie) Hedtke; as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her two brothers: Kenneth Dorow and Arlyn Dorow.
The funeral service for Ellen will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Monday, February 1, 2016 at Martin Luther Church, 436 S. Lake St., Neenah, Rev.'s Jason Oakland and Tyler Shinnick officiating. A visitation will take place at church from 11:00 A.M. until the hour of service. Interment will be at Highland Memorial Park the following day.
We thank Jesus that because of the Resurrection, we do not say “goodbye” but “see you later”. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by us all.
