Emma L. Malueg

Emma Malueg, age 92, a child of God, loving mother and grandmother passed away peacefully at Brewster Village at 7:40 A.M. on Thursday, January 11, 2007 with her family at her side. Emma was born in Tigerton on August 9, 1914, daughter of the late Emil and Minnie (Krueger) Gutt. On April 21, 1934, Emma married Ruben Malueg in Bowler, Wisconsin, and after his death married Rudolph Malueg in Bowling Green, Ohio on October 14, 1941. Rudolph passed away on December 8, 1963. As a young woman, Emma worked as a beautician, and over the years held several other jobs. She and Rudolph operated a grocery store at Five Corners, she was employed by Geenen’s Hardware in Freedom, and later worked in the cafeteria at Appleton Memorial Hospital (AMC). She enjoyed cooking, gardening, caring for her African violets, picking berries, and fishing. Quilting with her many friends at First English Lutheran Church was a favorite pastime, and for over fifteen years volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul.

Emma is survived by two children: Allen (Joyce) Malueg of Appleton and Marilyn (Jerry) Beyer of Shiocton; eleven grandchildren: Debi (Thomas) Behl of Illinois, Lori (Bruce) Pennings of Appleton, Patti (Darryl) Payne of Appleton, Randy (Paula) Malueg of Appleton, Sheryl (Mick) Wert of Appleton, Dan Malueg and his special friend Nicole Desten of Little Chute, Kris (Conway) Eastman of Arizona, Tim (Erin) Beyer of Milwaukee, Andy Douglas of Appleton, Matt (Jackie) Douglas of Madison, and Brad (Jenny) Douglas of Menasha; eighteen great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren: a former son-in-law: Mike (Jean) Douglas of Menasha; five sisters-in-law: Hilda Gutt of Bowler, Emma Roehl of New London, Margaret Gutt of Bowler, Hazel Malueg of Green Bay and Jean Malueg of Shawano; and three brothers-in-law: Willard (Vannes) Malueg of Greenfield, Don Schoepke of Wausau, and Roland Malueg of Tennessee. Emma was preceded in death by her husbands, an infant son Dwayne Malueg, daughters Sandra Douglas and Loretta Josephs, a son-in-law Tom Josephs; a sister: Ada Pingel; and brothers Walter, Arnold, and Roland Gutt.

The funeral services for Emma will be held at 11:00 AM Monday, January 15, 2006 at FIRST ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH, 326 E. North Street in Appleton with Rev. George Detweiler officiating. Friends may call at the church on Monday morning from 9:00 AM until the hour of the service. A graveside committal service will be held at 3:30 PM Monday at Evergreen Cemetery in Bowler.

The family would like to offer a special thank-you to Joan Gilbertson, Donna Mullen, Emma’s quilting friends, and also to the staffs of Brewster Village, Living Tree Estates, and St. Elizabeth Hospital. You are all such very special people, and your kindness will never be forgotten.

Emma dearly enjoyed time spent with her family – family and church were the most important things to her. She was a faith-filled woman who expressed herself by leading a life filled with honesty and love, and will always be remembered that way.

“I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” John II – 25:26
