Windsor, Martha P. (25 January 1913 – 6 July 2009)

Martha P. Windsor, 96, of Alma Center died Monday, July 6, 2009, at Pine View Care Center, Black River Falls.

Martha was born Jan. 25, 1913, in Chippewa Falls to parents Henry and Mary (Hazelbausch) Frerking.  She married Alvin Windsor Aug. 19, 1934, in Chippewa Falls. Following their marriage, the couple lived in Black River Falls. They moved to Chippewa Falls during the World War II, where her husband was employed in the war effort.  Following the war, they moved to the South Alma area where they farmed for many years.

Martha loved to cook and bake and when their children were grown, she was employed as a baker at the Black River Café and at Grouchy’s in Black River Falls.  In addition to cooking and baking, she enjoyed spending time gardening and canning and took great pleasure in feeding her family in abundance. She was a very family oriented person and especially enjoyed doting on her grandchildren. Reading and flower gardening were Martha’s other special pastimes.

Martha is survived by her son, James Windsor of Waukesha; her daughter, Delores “Dee” Mayer of Merrillan; her daughter-in-law, Lynn Windsor of Alma Center; nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; besides other relatives and friends.

Martha was preceded in death by her husband, Alvin, Oct. 2, 1977; her son, Fred Windsor, in 2001; two brothers, Henry and Tony; four sisters, Mary, Frances, Louise and Minnie; and her daughter-in-law, Christine Windsor.
