Ron,

Thank you. Unfortunately do not know any of Aunt Kates children just that
she had some. I know she moved 2 years ago but not where she moved. I now
know wake will be held from Zachow Wendts funeral Home via another relative
with funeral next day-But WHAT DAYS is the problem.

Will probably end up calling them to get arrangements. Maybe they will have
copies of obit at funeral home-maybe not. So not taking any chances. Will
probably end up paying newspaper for a copy but will go this route 1st since
very strapped on funds.

Kathy

My condolences in your loss. I'm a bit perplexed. There may or may not be
any lister that lives in Shawano. Couldn't you call the family member,
hospital or funeral home that called you about the death or have them call
you about the funeral? Are you looking for her death notice or an obituary.
An obituary is written by and paid for by a member of the family. Sometimes
the family member writes the info and the funeral home places the obituary
in the paper. Otherwise, it would be just a death notice, if that. If
there is a family member, perhaps they could call you with information once
they finalize the plans. They could also obtain an extra copy of the
newspaper and save it for you. If there is no family member, the home where
she was residing may have information.
