Walk, Kay Evelyn (Marriage - 26 August 1967)

Two baskets of yellow and white spider chrysanthemums graced the altar of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Neillsville for the wedding Saturday afternoon of Miss Kay Evelyn Walk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Walk of Neillsville, and Bernard Bruce Poeschel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Poeschel of Rt. 2 Durand. The Rev. Norman W. Lindloff performed the double ring ceremony in which Mr. Walk gave his daughter in marriage.

The bridal gown featured a floor-length, straight skirt of bonded crepe, enhanced with a train edged in lace that cascaded off the shoulders. A pillbox headpiece edged in the same type of lace as the dress, held her elbow-length veil. She carried a long floral arrangement of white daisies and yellow roses.

Miss Marilyn Radloff of Eglin AFB, Fla., as maid-of-honor, was seen in a mint green floor-length gown with daisy trim. Mrs. Ruth Faldet of Neenah and Mrs. Karin Jorstad of Chetek, the bridesmaids, wore yellow dresses styled as that of the maid-of-honor. Each carried a colonial bouquet of white daisies.

Armond Poeschel of Anoka, Minn., was best man. Groomsmen were Miland Faldet of Neenah and Gary Koehler of Marshfield. Ushers were Chuck Urban of Neillsville and Mark Heike of Eau Claire.

The new Mrs. Poeschel is a graduate of Neillsville High School and of Luther Hospital School of Nursing in Eau Claire. She has been employed as a registered nurse in Luther Hospital.

Mr. Poeschel, a graduate of Durand High School, also is a graduate of Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire, where he was affiliated with Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity. He is a medical technologist and currently is serving as a lieutenant in the army at Ft. Benning, GA., where the couple will reside.
