Alfreda Buboltz

Alfreda Buboltz, age 100, passed peacefully into her Savior’s arms on Thursday, February 7, 2019 at Matthews Senior Living on Irish Road in Neenah. She was born in Whirlington, Wyoming on October 1, 1918, daughter of the late Walter and Cora Graubaugh. She came to Appleton as a child and later, in 1934, married John Brickler, and their marriage was blessed with three children: Helen (Lawrence) Mueller, Herman (Judy) Brickler, and Henrietta (Morris) St. Claire. Later, in 1957, she married Harvey Buboltz in Sugar Bush. Together, they had a daughter, Anna.

Alfreda volunteered at the Moose Lodge in Appleton for many years, and was a longtime and faithful member of Riverview Lutheran church. She enjoyed gardening, crocheting, and tinkering around the house. Most of all, she enjoyed quality time spent with family members and friends.

Alfreda is survived by her daughter: Anna (Eric) Schierl of Appleton; nineteen grandchildren: Katherine, Larry, John, Randy, Marie, Darlene, Warren, Judd, Leone, Gabe, Dennis, Christine, Patsy, Laurie, Ricky, Jody, Adam, Tiffany, and Amy.
