Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Mary Belle (Wimmer) (Nelson) Goldman, was born in Harvard, Illinois on December 10, 1922, and passed away March 10, 2013. Our most giving and loving mother and friend traveled on to the arms of her beloved husband, Irving Goldman. Mary had the most vibrant personality and giving heart of any angel on earth. She overcame many obstacles in her life and she always put others before herself. Mary said her greatest achievement had been reached when she witnessed her children thriving through a forgiving and trusting spirit in which she worked so hard to instill. Mary was blessed with a wonderful husband who defined her as his queen. They enjoyed many travels to Florida, California, and New Mexico. They had many rewarding years together residing in Tucson, Arizona where they spent endless days shopping and enjoying their beautiful home filled with laughter and an abundance of good food. She brought so much laughter, fun conversation and the best of memories to Rocky, Haleigh and Mitchell, who could never get enough of her funny monkey sounds and hilarious jokes. Her voice, smile, and giving spirit will never, ever leave our memories.
Mary's forgiving and loving soul lives on through her children: Mark, Gary, David, Melody (Kim), Sharon, and Paul. Her grandchildren carry on her legacy of laughter and love, as they miss her dearly: Lori, Wendy, Jason, Rocky, Haleigh and Mitchell, Robyn, and Kathy.
She is now sitting on the fluffiest cloud with her husband Irving and her mother Ruby. Also preceding Mary in death was a daughter-in-law, Lori Wimmer, wife of David.
Until we meet again, mom. We love and miss you always.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 15, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. at Mueller Funeral Home, 904 E. Main St. Winneconne. A visitation for family and friends will be on Friday at the funeral home from Noon until the time of the service.
In lieu of flowers, Mary has asked that love and forgiveness be projected unto others.

As my older brother Glen Peterson said, Mary was also my favorite aunt. Glen Peterson and myself Donald Peterson are the sons of Betty whom was Mary's only sister. For some reason was not mentioned in the obit. Mary was proceeded in death by her sister Betty, brothers; Colonell, Russel and Dick (Woody). Mary's father Alfred, and mother Ruby, also passed away several years ago.
Mary's personality was so special. Always a great big smile and a laugh that I will never forget! Another special person in her life was her first husband Stanley Wimmer, whom she shared many happy years raising their children together. He was also a wonderful uncle and a very special person. At this time I would like to thank my cousin Mark , his wife Ruth and my other cousin David for taking such good care and making sure Aunt Mary had the best care possible and always making sure that she was comfortable and also keeping us informed as to Marys condition etc..
I am sad to say that Lisa and I are unable to travel at this time due to a recent kidney removal Surgery I had. We will be there in spirit of course and Mary will always be there in our hearts.
With deepest sympathy ,
Don and Lisa Peterson

To my mother,
How I miss your smiling face, your voice that never seemed to tell your age, and your hilarious comments at the most unexpected moments.
