Neillsville News by Amber Pischer

The 92nd birthday of Leona (Garbisch) Tucker was celebrated at a luncheon in her honor Friday, April 12, 2013. Leona, the daughter of Paul and Emma Garbisch, was born April 12, 1921, the youngest of 10 children and the only surviving sibling. Special guest was Leona’s longtime priest, Father Steven Brice, formerly of St. Anne’s in Wausau and now at St. Anthony’s in Loyal. Other guests were Leona’s daughter, Emalyn Nikstad; Leona’s first cousin, Elda Morley; and Leona’s many nieces and nephews, Elmer and Chris Romang, Lavon and Don Bartsch, Ronald and Annabelle Garbisch, Lois Garbisch and son Alan, Fritz Garbisch, Noel and Maryanne Olson and grandson, Cain, Heather Bravener, Terry and Elsie Sischo, Alene Lautenbach, and Harvey and Amber Pischer. The party was hosted by Leona’s son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Bonnie Tucker, Elkhorn, NE, and although unable to attend, they graciously picked up the entire tab for the celebration. Thanks, Rick and Bonnie it was a lovely birthday party for your mom.
