Mildred M. Niziolek died Sunday April 15, 2012 at St. Clare's Hospital, Weston at age 95. She was born, daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Salzman) Heil on February 20, 1917, in the town of Emmet. She married Frank Niziolek at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Wausau on November 16, 1937. He preceded her in death on June 11, 1996. Mildred was a homemaker and a seamstress producing countless items for her family and others. She always had her crocheting or knitting with her as her hands needed to remain busy at all times. Many of those items were sold at the Talent Shop or donated to her church for fund raisers. Mildred was proud of her flower garden and enjoyed spending time working in it. In later years when she moved to Island Place and later to Renaissance Assisted Living she played games and never missed Bingo. She was very social and could never be found in her apartment.
