SOUTH WAYNE - Lois E. Brenum, age 89, South Wayne, Wisconsin, was born into heaven Sunday, August 17, 2008 at the Lafayette County Manor in Darlington, WI surrounded by her family. She was born at home on July 22, 1919 in Wiota township, the daughter of Mervin and Olive (Spore) Wicker.
Lois married Floyd B. Brenum July 14, 1945 at the Wiota Lutheran Parsonage and she worked at Micro Switch in Warren, IL, retiring in November of 1981. Lois was a member of Wiota Lutheran Church, Women of the ELCA, and the Naomi Circle. Until failing health, she volunteered for a number of years at the South Wayne Area Food Pantry, was an election worker for the Village of South Wayne, enjoyed collecting oil lamps, going to garage sales, and playing cards (especially with her family). There are many loved memories by her children and grnadhcildren. She always loved to have the grandchildren come and stay so she could spoil them and make them grandma's special pancakes. While at the Lafayette Manor, Lois loved bingo, church services, sing alongs, bus trips, and just sitting in the front room with Oscar the cat and watching birds.
Lois is survived by four children, Mervyn (Marcy) Brenum, of Dickeyville, Steven (Heidi) Brenum of Wiota, Chris (Claire) Obert of South Wayne, and Robert (Mary) Brenum of Monroe; ten Grandchildren; three Step-Grandchildren; eleven Great-Grandchildren; eight Step-Great-Grandchildren; three sisters, Marie Hales and Cleo Bondele of Warren, IL, and Delores Faletti of Monroe; sister-in-law, Mabel Brenum of South Wayne; many special Nephews and Nieces; and her friends. She was predeceased by her Parents and son, Floyd, Jr. on September 10, 1997.
Visitation will be held from 4:00 until 7:00 P.M. Tuesday evening, August 19, 2008 at Wiota Lutheran Church.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at the Wiota Lutheran Church with Pastor Sara Gillespie officiating. Burial will follow at West Wiota Cemetery.
The Family would like to "thank" the caregivers from the Lafayette Manor for their care and compassion to Lois.
