Grube, Arlene J. (Wendorf) (20 JUL 1929 - 15 DEC 2015)

Arlene J. Grube, age 86, of Abbotsford, passed away peacefully surrounded by her sister on Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at her home.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:30 AM on Monday, December 21, 2015 at Christ Lutheran Church in Abbotsford. Vicar Don Bruce will officiate.

Family and friends are welcome from 10:00 AM until time of service on Monday at the church. The Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford is entrusted with the arrangements.

Arlene was born on July 20, 1929 in the town of Kronenwetter, the daughter of Roland and Minnie (Brunn) Wendorf. She attended Lyon Grade School and Wausau High School.

Arlene was united in marriage to Henry Grube on April 17, 1948 in Merrill. Together they owned and operated Duke's Bowl in Abbotsford from 1964 - 1995.

Arlene enjoyed bowling, golfing, playing cards, and reading. Most importantly, she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially on Christmas. She was a loving mother and grandmother, and will be missed greatly. It was her wish to have her body donated for science to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Arlene is survived by her four children: Duane (Bonny) Grube of Phillips, Al Grube of Chippewa Falls, Rick (Lynn) Grube of Tomahawk, and Kathleen (Randy) Grambort of Abbotsford; nine grandchildren: Chad, Cami, Jessica, Clint, Luke, Samantha, Sheri, Brad, and Val; and eight great-grandchildren: Abigail, Jake, Hunter, Haylee, Jacob, Kaden, Ella, and Brandon. She is further survived by her two sisters, Jo Bendickson of Weston, and Shirley (Roger) Bielen of Kronenwetter, a brother; Ron (MaryJane) Wendorf of Ixonia, two sisters-in-law; Alice Smith of Tampa, FL, and Ruthie Grube of Auburndale; and a brother-in-law: Dick (Barb) Krueger of Green Bay, and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry in 1997; two sisters: Edith Hintz and Marilyn Krueger and a brother; Clifford Wendorf.
