Pagelsdorf, Carolyn Sue (Marriage –1966)

St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Loyal was the scene June 11 of the wedding of Miss Carolyn Sue Pagelsdorf, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pagelsdorf of Rt. 1, Loyal, and James Edwin Hinker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Hinker. The Rev. Norbert King officiated in a double ring ceremony.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, approached the altar in a floor length gown of nylon organza over taffeta, styled with a sweetheart neckline and long sleeves that tapered at the wrists. The A-line skirt ended in a large chapel train. Venetian lace adorned the skirt front and through the midriff.  A large bouffant veil of English illusion billowed from a crown of aurora borealis crystals, seed pearls and Venetian Lace.  She carried a crescent bouquet of deep pink and white gardenias.

Mrs. Patricia Stumpner of rural Loyal was her sister’s matron of honor.  Her bridesmaids were Mrs. Jo Ann Kaiser of Stratford, and Miss Rita Stumpner of Racine.  They wore two-tone pink floor length gowns of chiffon over taffeta, styled with bateau necklines and elbow length sleeves. Their controlled skirts were enhanced with Venetian lace around the waistline.  The same type of lace edged the sleeves. Small bouffant veils cascaded from petal headpieces.  They carried heart shaped bouquets of pale pink gardenias.

Bestman was George Stumpner of Rt. 1 Loyal; groomsmen were Lester Kaiser of Stratford and William Pagelsdorf of rural Loyal.  Ushers were Francis Hinker of Greenwood, and Lloyd Jensen of Marshfield.

The bride is a graduate of Loyal High School and has been employed as a secretary to Dr. Bahri O. Gungor. The groom is employed at Wuethrich’s.
