IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Norma
Kreuziger
September 12, 1930 – May 23, 2024
Obituary
Norma G. "Nana" Kreuziger (nee Marsch; September 12, 1930 – May 23, 2024) of West Bend passed away at the age of 93 following injuries from an auto accident. Norma, a woman of devout faith, modeled a "Jesus First" life, a credo she prayed will endure in the lives of her cherished family and friends.
All who knew Norma and her late but great and beloved husband of 71 years, Duane ("Papa"), wonder if they were more eager to cut a rug with their captivating moves or hit the back nine upon being reunited.
As the second youngest of 12, Norma's formal education had to end after 8 th grade. Nonetheless, her intellect, drive, and passion propelled her to a fulfilling 29-year career in a supervisory capacity at the JCPenney distribution center where she was well-respected and admired.
The wit and wisdom that was the essence of Norma endeared her to all generations, keeping her connected with friends and family, many of whom will miss both her sass and warm-heartedness in her Facebook posts.
Norma's unwavering dedication to her family was evident every day. From her gentle patience and quiet strength caring for her husband in his final days to her enthusiastic support for her great-grandchildren's recitals, sporting events, and the day- to-day milestones, she was her family's greatest cheerleader.
While Norma was truly blessed with a "full" life, she left with too many spaghetti dinners to cook, football games to armchair quarterback, competitions to win, shopping marathons to run (bonus for bargains!), shoes to sneak into the house, and music to create.
Norma's dynamic legacy will continue through her daughters Denise (Jerry) Bibis and Cyndi (Mark) Seefeldt, daughter-in-law, Mary; grandchildren Gary (Jessica) Kreuziger, Nicole Kreuziger , Valerie (Anya) Stadler, Natalie (Luke) Kasten, Jake (Heather) Bibis, Luke (Kaitlin) Bibis; great-grandchildren Ryan, Jenna, Owen, Joe, Parker, Tegan, Colton, Quinn, Harper, Scarlett, Penelope, Max, Ryder and Maveric; siblings Lawrence (the late Grace) Marsch and Marilyn (Ralph) Lewandowski; her four legged fur-baby Ellie Mae; other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Her husband Duane, her sons Gary and Kevin, siblings Vincent (Helen), Reynold (Lucille), Milton (Bernie) Marsch, Margorie (John) Mueller, Elaine (Ervin) Dombrowski, Delores (Bernard) Shea, Gilbert (Carol) Marsch, and Virgina (Richard) Van Swol.
