Phyllis Marie Hoeppner, age 84, went to be with the Lord on Monday, March 24, 2025. Phyllis was born
in Sheboygan on March 24, 1941 to the late Alvin and Freida (Kuntsman) Pluskat. Phyllis was united in
marriage to Donald Hoeppner on March 11, 1961 at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Sheboygan.
Phyllis loved to crochet, and made many blankets and throws for her friends and family over the years.
Her family remember her kindness, charity, and her many talents. She made Halloween costumes for
her children growing up, and loved meeting with her friends. Many summers were spent traveling to
the Wisconsin Dells and Door County for family vacations. Phyllis will be deeply missed by everyone
who had the privilege of knowing her. The world could use more people like Phyllis.
Phyllis is survived by her children Ronald Hoeppner of Sheboygan and Donna (John) Kruse of Oshkosh;
granddaughters Danielle Hoeppner of Sheboygan, Shannon (Eric) Thomas of Port Washington, WI,
Stephanie (Matt) Haas of Johnson Creek and Kendra (Jake) Gundrum of Glendale, AZ, and great-
grandchildren Brinley and Aubrey Haas and Grant Gundrum. She is further survived by sisters-in-law
Carolyn Hoeppner, Shirley Fenn and Melissa Hoeppner, and brother-in-law Arnie (Karen) Hoeppner.
In addition to her parents, Phyllis is preceded in death by her husband Donald, her great-granddaughter
Sophie Gundrum, her brothers-in-law Dennis, Kenny and Jerry Hoeppner, and sisters-in-law Doris
(Everett) Schober, Virginia (Marvin Sr.) Goetsch, and Joyce (Ron) Strysick.
