June 4, 1914 — January 15, 2009

HOPFENSPERGER, LUCILLE A.

Lucille A. Hopfensperger, found peace in God's arms on January 15, 2009. Born on June 4, 1914 to Reinhold and Augusta Krabbe, Lucille was a lifelong resident of Appleton. Following graduation, she started working at Hopfensperger Bros. Inc. where she met and fell in love with Andrew Hopfensperger. They married on December 7, 1942 and shared forty six years until his death on May 18, 1989.

Lucille was a charter member of the Appleton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, a life member of Fidelity Chapter-Order of the Eastern Star, and a member of the Chalice Circle of King's Daughters. She belonged to the Appleton Women's Club and was a longtime member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

She was an avid bridge player. Lucille enjoyed traveling to Europe, Mexico, Florida, and other destinations in the United States. She loved frequent trips to the north woods where she went deer hunting with her family. Her shooting accuracy earned her the nickname of “One Shot Lucy”.

She is survived by her three children: Patricia (Bill) Reis, DeForest; Jolene (Roger) Kussmann, Eagle; Andrew (Roseann) Hopfensperger, Clintonville; and a step-daughter Audrey Morgan, Seattle, WA. Lucille was the loving, proud grandmother of Amber, Heather, Erin, Nathan, Mican, and Andy, Jr. Further survived by her six precious great-grandchildren.

Lucille was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Andrew, brothers Clarence, Ralph, Alvin, and Les Krabbe, her sister Dorothy Myre, several nephews and a niece.
