Al retired in 1984, but kept helping with the business as late as 2013. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling with Vera. They enjoyed going on bus trips and on many cruises together to see the world.

Evelyn Bernice Hatlevig Evelyn Bernice Hatlevig passed away Sat- urday, Sept. 3, 2017, sur- rounded by loving family members at the Roger Metz Manor.

She was 95 years old. Evelyn was born Oct. 3, 1921, in Arendahl, to Clarence and Mary Hat- levig. She often told her children, grandchildren, and even her great-grand- children of the fun she had growing up on the farm, do- ing her chores, and riding to her one room schoolhouse during the wintertime with her siblings, bundled up in blankets in a horse-drawn sleigh. As a teenager she worked as a maid at one of the on Lake eventually making her way to Washington, D.C., where she worked at an ice cream factory.

She next moved to Milwaukee, where she worked at Gas Specialty Company. At a local dance she was charmed by a young Hawaiian man, Eugene who was an Arthur Murray dance instructor. She married him June 23, 1951, and they lived in Mil- waukee, Kansas City, and Romeoville, before eventually settling in Winona. Although Evelyn worked for several years at Fiberite and Westgate Motel, she was a full-time mother to her daughter and five sons. She took immense pleasure in scrubbing out the grass stains and sewing the holes in our football uniforms so her boys looked spotless on the gridiron.

She was the organizer of countless week- end picnics, throwing together bologna and summer sausage sandwiches, neatly stacked in an old ice cream bucket, and embellishing them with her special potato salad, baked beans, and jello with fruit cocktail. And she always participated in our family touch football games. The older siblings have a special memory of her, six months pregnant, outrunning Dad to score the win- ning touchdown! Evelyn loved to read the newspaper and kept a scrapbook, where she clipped articles on the various accomplishments of each of her children. She loved cooking and decorating her home for the holi- days, house being the centerpiece for many Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter celebrations with children and grandchildren. In her later years Evelyn became an avid golfer, par- ticipating in the annual Open golf tourney even at age 95.

She participated with Dad in the Friday night League at Westfield for many years, enjoying the fellowship of many other couples. Evelyn, an avid church-goer even up to the time of her death, was a member of St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church. Evie and Gene loved to choose names from the each year, making Christmas a joyous oc- casion for multiple other families. Evie also had a knack for winning quilts at the parish bazaar, a knack that she happily passed on to Reverend Thomas Hargesheimer.

gentle smile and warm spirit will be greatly missed by her many friends and family members. Evelyn is survived by her six children, Michael (Susan) Winona, David (Jeanann) Winona, Patti (Jim) Thiewes, Chaska, Kevin La Crosse, Robert La Crosse, and Jon (Alison) Woodbury, eight grandchildren, Andy (girlfriend, Stacy), Tim (Alicia) Dan (Nina) Rebecca (Gabe) Ramirez, Matt (Mary) Katie (Christian) Miller, Phil (Antoinette) Thiewes, Eric (Jennifer) Thiewes; and 10 great-grandchildren, Lexi and Livi Oliver, Vivian, and Oscar Tyler and Evelyn Miller, Lorenzo Thiewes, and Lillian and Penelope Thiewes.
