Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Anna Joyce Basler Beltz, age 91, formerly of Neenah, was called home by her Lord on Sunday, November 17, 2013, after an extended illness. She was born in Phillips, Wisconsin on September 24, 1922, to the late George and Henrietta (Rademacher) Hall. In 1943 Joyce married Chuck Basler and they owned and operated Basler Appliance and Farm until they retired in 1970. Chuck preceded Joyce in death in 1988. In 1992 she married Bill Beltz and he preceded her in death in 2010. Joyce enjoyed oil painting, playing the organ, and spending time with her family. She was a member of New Hope Lutheran Church, Neenah.
Joyce is survived by two children, Jim (Glynis) Basler, of Palm Coast, Florida; Annette (Kenney) Wiesner, of Neenah; eleven grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; one great-grandchild; one brother, Walter (Betty) Hall, of Tempe, Arizona; sister-in-law, Arline Goerlitz, of Neenah; brothers-in-law, Larry (Debbie) Basler, of Oshkosh; Don Basler, of Oshkosh; and twelve nieces and nephews.
Along with her parents and husbands, Joyce was also preceded in death by two sons, Glenn and Dennis Basler; one daughter-in-law, Judy Basler; and one granddaughter, Lisa Mueller.
A visitation for family and friends will be on Thursday, November 21, 2013, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at Mueller Funeral Home, 904 E. Main St. Winneconne. A memorial service will follow at 6:00 p.m. with Pastor Jeff Prewitt officiating.

Some of the fondest memories of my youth include both Chuck and Joyce, who treated me like family while I helped out at the store and gave organ lessons to children whose families purchased a Thomas organ. I wish your folks had known that after my husband and I retired to Carson City, NV, I became the church organist at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. And lets not forget those wonderful memories of Sunset School and the friendship between the Muellers, the Baslers, and the Noltes.
My sister Karen and I send our love and condolences to Jim, Annette, and the rest of the Basler family.
