Elizabeth E. Rohmeyer

Elizabeth E. "Betty" Rainville-Rohmeyer 83, Wausau, died Friday, September 5, 2008 at St. Clare's Hospital, Weston. She was born June 10, 1925 in the Town of Emmet, daughter of the late Elmer and Emma (Fischer) Rainville. On February 10, 1945, she married Joseph Rohmeyer in Wausau. He preceded her in death on January 26, 1972. It is impossible to sum up Lizzy's life in a few words. She made friends and touched so many lives everywhere she went. Lizzy loved baking and cooking and always had a new recipe to try. Every Christmas, she always looked forward to making candy with her daughter and two granddaughters to share with family and friends. Among her many interests, she enjoyed weekly shopping adventures with her sister, Joan, going up north to the trailer and casino runs. She had a special place in her heart for all things furry and feathered, especially her little beggars, Thumper and Tinker. Lizzy always had time to pull up a chair and visit with friends both old and new. As heartbroken as we are to see Lizzy go, we know that she is visiting with countless old friends and watching over us all. Survivors include, three children, Joseph (Nancy) Rohmeyer, Merrill, Kenneth (Mary) Rohmeyer, Weston and Gail (Dan) Dupuis, Merrill; her son-in-law, Davis Prei, Rhinelander; seven grandchildren, Michelle (Don) Stahoviak, Joseph (Andrea) Rohmeyer, Michael (Amanda) Rohmeyer, Carol (Leroy) Fischer, Kim (Daniel) Dalton, Brenda Dupuis and Cathy Dupuis; 19 great grandchildren; four step-grandchildren, Katie Miskowiak, Aaron Miskowiak, Chad Miskowiak and Ryan Miskowiak; six step-great grandchildren; two sisters, Joan Harter, Wausau and Margaret Wolfe, Wausau; three sisters-in-law, Katherine, Ione and Bernice Rainville, all of Wausau and her life long friend, Betty Heinrich, Wausau. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph; one daughter, Darlene Prei; one granddaughter, Joyce Rohmeyer; six brothers; and one sister. The funeral mass will be celebrated 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at The Church of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Wausau. Rev. Daniel Hackel will preside.
