Jane Margaret Griesbach, age 77, went to be with the LORD JESUS CHRIST on April 3, 2012. She was born in Appleton, September 12, 1934, daughter of the late Harold and Margaret Rehfeldt. She was the loving wife, of 53 years, wed to the late Donald J. Griesbach on August 12, 1956. Together they raised their six children on the family dairy farm in Freedom. She had a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and loved to read His Word. In her younger years Jane liked to train horses.
