Age 83, was called to her eternal rest on August 25, 2002 at ManorCare in Appleton. She was born on October 26, 1918 in New York, daughter of the late Harold and Josephine (Kemper) Feidler. On July 1, 1938, she was united in marriage to Walter H. Jaeger who preceded her in death. Dot grew up in Long Island, New York and moved to Appleton in 1959 from Illinois. She was a member of First United Methodist Church and Riverview Country Club in Appleton. Among her many activities, she was a member of Appleton Women’s Club where she served as president in 1974 and 1975, was a Toastmistress, and co-founded of the Put ‘N’ Take Resale Shop. Dot was also a Girl Scout Leader, Brownie Leader, and Cub Scout Leader. She enjoyed golfing, playing bridge, knitting, crocheting, sewing, agate collecting, copper work, and keeping busy in general. Dot especially enjoyed traveling, and had many fond memories of her trips to Yugoslavia, China, Hawaii, and Eagle Harbor, Michigan. In her later years, she loved to sing, and had many cute puns.

She will be deeply missed by her daughter: Bev (Al) Vandenberg of Appleton; a son: Walt Jaeger of Madison; five grandchildren: Christine Vandenberg of Appleton, Kay (James) Huggins of Greenville, Jeffrey Vandenberg of Appleton, Carol (Todd) Berg of Little Chute, and Douglas Vandenberg of Appleton; her great-grandchildren: Tyler and Austin Huggins of Greenville, and Noah Berg of Little Chute.

Dot’s family would like to say a special thanks to Julie Coenen and ManorCare nurses and staff.

Her wittiness, humor, singing, and her willingness to make people happy will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and anyone she came into contact with.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.

“We love you mom, grandma, and great-grandma.”
