Nancy Lou (Mares) Spiegelhoff, born April 4, 1932, passed away on December 12, 2024. Her 92 years on earth were a testament to a life filled with LOVE for her beloved Catholic faith, family, friends, neighbors, and God’s poor. Our mother was deeply devoted to the pro-life cause. She believed that the LOVE she gave to God’s needy people on earth was the key to Eternal Love in the Kingdom of Heaven. We believe she is now enjoying that reward.
Nancy is survived by her five children and their spouses: Matthew (Cathy) Om of Eastvale, CA; Mark (Sue) Spiegelhoff of New Berlin, WI; Luke (Gail) Spiegelhoff of Bloomington, MN; Jana (Darren) Harrington of Sheboygan, WI; and Jill (Scott) Emerich of La Crosse, WI.
