Norbert E. Driessen

May 1, 1914 — September 25, 2002

Age 88, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 25, 2002 at the Appleton Medical Center. Nub was born May 1, 1914 in Kaukauna, son of the late Edward G. and Lucy (King) Driessen. On May 20, 1941, he married the former Ann Van Wymeren in Little Chute; she survives. Nub was a skilled pattern maker, and was employed over the years by Thilmany Pulp and Paper, Giddings and Lewis, and eventually retired from the Appleton Pattern Works. Nub was also an expert gardener, and many will remember his wonderful vegetable and flower gardens. Each year he created a beautiful flower-filled garden for all to admire and enjoy. He also enjoyed woodworking and was known for his good eye when it came to hunting for hickory nuts.

Survivors include his wife: Ann Driessen of Kaukauna; a daughter: Mary (Bob) Koch of Oshkosh; a son: Steve Driessen of Denver, Colorado; a son-in-law: Peter Peterson of Davenport, Iowa; five grandchildren: Stephanie, Rob, and Adam Koch and Stacey and Amy Peterson; two brothers: Robert (Marian) Driessen and Leo (Fran) Driessen both of Kaukauna; two sisters-in-law: Marion Driessen of Oshkosh and Pat (Donald) Siebers of Little Chute. Nub was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter Janet Ann Peterson, sisters Lozelle (Jule) Schommer and Margaret (Tip) Reetz, and brothers Quintin (Helen) Driessen, Everett (Julia) Driessen, and Floyd Driessen.
