Mildred "Millie" Krueger, age 95, of Winneconne died Wednesday, March 16, 2016, at Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh. She was born July 14, 1920, in Kaukauna to the late Joseph and Anna (Regunfeuss) Benotch.
In November 1956 Millie married Robert Krueger. She had a love for people and being a caregiver and it showed in the many things she did which included: running the Winneconne Community Walk-In Center, serving as president of the local United Way, working with the Winnebago County Housing Authority, being an active member of the Winneconne Civic League, and serving on the election board. One year these many endeavors earned her the annual Sovereign State fireworks display in her name. Millie enjoyed gardening, putting together puzzles, and playing Scrabble, but she truly loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Winneconne.
Millie was loved by all who knew her and will be especially missed by her husband of 59 years, Robert Krueger; four children, Jerry (Rita) Cottrell, Mary Holtz, Donna (John) Ziebell, Scott (Jodi) Krueger; grandchildren, Steve (Lynda) Cottrell, Jeff (Nan) Cottrell, Robbi (Marty) Brethouwer, Julie Studtmann, Kristi (Mark) Anderson, Melissa Holtz (fiancé, Jon Meinen), Martha (Dennis) Sullivan, Rachel Neutzling, David Ziebell, Mason (Alison) Krueger, Breinne Krueger; great-grandchildren, Lauren, Calvin, Austin, Kevin, Baylee, Michael, Emma, Sophia, Sydney, Keller, Cooper, Piper, Brady, Andrew, Jack, Molly, Maggie, and Lia Millie; and nieces, special neighbors, and friends.
Along with her parents, Millie was also preceded in death by a son, Tom; one brother; four sisters; and a son-in-law, Robert Holtz.
