Norma M. Brockmiller

Norma M. Brockmiller


Life was good for me and my husband, Vic. We experienced as most couples do, ups and downs in our 71 years together. But the years moved along so quickly we used to look at each other and ask “How did we get to be so old?” Two children were born to us – Thom (wife Robin) of Nashville, Tennessee, and Gay (husband Rob) of Plymouth, Minnesota. We had three wonderful grandsons, Tom (wife Teaba), Adam, and Peter, who we loved very much. They were especially fond of my home-made banana bread and fudge and always asked their Grandma for more, no matter how old they grew.A big part of our lives was our dogs. We raised many puppies. When one crossed over the “Rainbow Bridge” we opened our hearts to another and another. We always thought that a house without a dog was not a home. The saddest times were when we had to part. The “Rainbow Bridge” poem below states that we will be reunited with our pets, never to be apart again. Could that really be true? How wonderful that would be! May the souls of all our dogs rest in peace.I wish I could have raised more puppies, but old age prevented us from giving a loving home to more dogs. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.' (Anatole France).In addition to my love of animals, I was also an avid Cubs fan for over 70 years. Yaaaay!To My Husband, Vic – “May the Bluebird of Happiness Build its Little Nest Close to You.”To My Children – “You Were Always in My Heart.”Peace and love to everyone……… Norma Mae Brockmiller, formerly of Mayville, passed away on September 22, 2021, just three days after her 91st birthday. Her remains were cremated and returned to her family. As she requested, there will be no public funeral or memorial service.Memorials may be made to: Dane County Humane Society or Best Friends, a “no kill” sanctuary located in Kanab, Utah.Rainbow BridgeThere is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.It is called the “Rainbow Bridge” because of its many splendid colors.Just this side of Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green fields.When beloved pets die, they go to this place.There is always food and water and warm spring weather.The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So each day they run and play.Until the day comes when one of them suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches. The ears are up! The eyes are staring.And this one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen!And when you and your special friend meet, you take him in your arms and embrace.Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together……… never again to be separated.

Steven L. Siebenaler Steven Lee Siebenaler 67, of Beechwood passed away peacefully November 13, 2020 during a crisp fall evening surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Steve was born on January 14, 1953 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin to Janice (Liepert) and the late Mike Siebenaler. Steve attended Beechwood Elementary School and graduated from Kewaskum High School. He grew up on the family dairy farm outside of Beechwood where he learned the love of hard work as he would putz, tinker, and perfect his way to become a master of all trades. It was also here where his appreciation of animals and the outdoors began. He married the girl down the hill, Mari Lynn Miske on September 16, 1978 at Immanuel Lutheran, Town of Scott. Steve married into a family where he gained four brothers and four sisters. Togethe,r Steve and Mari Lynn raised two children to whom they instilled the value of faith, family, and integrity. Steve worked at Guertner Cheese, Borden Dairy, K&D Excavating, and retired in 2016 from the Sheboygan County Highway Department. Even after retirement, he could not give up operating heavy equipment and continued to help at K&D and AC Excavating. With a simple drive around Sheboygan County, Steve would proudly point out the products of his excavating expertise. Steve was also a retired honorary member of the Beechwood Fire Department and former member of the Beechwood Night Fliers Snowmobile Club. Steve had many different interests. What some would consider a burden, Steve found pleasurable and a joy: mowing lawn, yardwork, landscaping, and fixing things. He was meticulous in maintaining everything he worked for. He found serenity from atop a tree stand, where he could take in nature and form a theme for his next great hunting story. Steve guided many hunting adventures with his son, son-in-law, grandson, close friend and brother-in-law Mark, along with other relatives and friends. He also enjoyed his daily visits and drives with his life-long buddy and brother-in-law Dale. One of Steve’s greatest achievements in life was his five grandchildren. He lived for attending their never-ending sports and extracurricular activities. Steve found great excitement in giving them 4-wheeler rides, hunting, sharing appreciation for the outdoors, giving a good hug, and the art of pulling off a funny prank. Steve enjoyed his trip to Alaska with his extended family and many vacations with his grandkids. Please honor Steve’s memory by taking a slow walk outdoors, mentoring someone on a hunt, taking pride in a job well done, offering help to someone in need, cruising around in a muscle car, concocting a clever joke, and enjoying each moment with those you love. Steve was a kind-hearted son, husband, father, and grandpa who was always willing to help others. Steve was a member of Zion United Methodist Church, Batavia. Survivors include his wife: Mari Lynn; daughter, Stacy (Roy) Edwards; son, Travis (Angela) Siebenaler; known as Grandpa to Easton, Monroe, and Edlynn Edwards, and Etta and Ingrid Siebenaler. He is further survived by his mother, Janice (Al) Kempf, brothers- and sisters-in-law: Raylene (Steve) Justinger, Dale (Diane) Miske, Cheryl (Charles) Benson, Shelley Miske, Laurel (Kelvin) Kreif, Mark (Vickie) Miske, and Christine (Art) Birch. He is further survived by many nephews, nieces, and other relatives and friends. Steve was preceded in death by his father: Mike; father-in-law: Kermit Miske; mother-in-law: Delores Miske; and brothers-in-law: Kermit Jr. Miske and Lonnie Miske.
