Laura Heegeman (Knorr)

Laura Heegeman, age 91, of Appleton, passed away peacefully on Monday July 23, 2012 at the Appleton Medical Center. Laura was born on February 2, 1921 in Kaukauna, daughter of the late Henry and Mary Martzahl.

Laura enjoyed tending her flower garden, putting together puzzles with her daughter Barbara, going out to eat and especially shopping. But most of all Laura enjoyed spending time with her great grandchildren.

Laura is survived by her by her three children; Gerald (Nancy) Knorr of Rhindlander, Judy (Chuck) Schultz of Hemet, CA, and Barbara (Dale) Knaack of Neenah. Laura will also be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren; Tammy, Scott, Melissa, Brian, Doug, Dawn, Dave and Paula, as well as her 12 great grandchildren and sisters; Betty Sherwood and Helen Jackovich. Laura is preceded in death by her daughter Diane Bork.

Laura's family would like to express their heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the staff at Emerald Valley Assisted Living for the exceptional care Laura received. They would also like to thank the nurses and staff at the Appleton Medical Center for their kindness and support.

Laura's wishes were to be cremated and no funeral or memorial service will be held. If you knew Laura, please take a moment and remember her in your own special way.
