Pupp, Ethel Catherine (Geiger) (25 FEB 1924 - 28 OCT 2017)

Ethel Catherine Pupp (Geiger), 93, passed away peacefully on the morning of October 28, 2017. It was exactly 75 years from the day she married the love of her life, Edward A. Pupp, in 1942 in Abbotsford, WI. Ed passed away in 2004.

Ethel was born on February 25, 1924, the 16th of 17 children born to Francis Geiger and Anna Geiger (Metz) of Dorchester, WI.

She is survived by seven children, Harold (Gail) Pupp, Winchester, WI; Dale (Lanette) Pupp, Buford, GA; Carol Landrath, Stevens Point, WI; Roger (Marilynn Tsai) Pupp, San Francisco, CA; Glen (Darlene) Pupp of Weston, WI; Debra (Steven) Teske, Minocqua, WI; and Connie (Jim) Behnke, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA; 22 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. She is further survived by a younger brother, Leo Geiger of Loyal, WI, almost one hundred nieces and nephews and their families.

Nothing gave Ethel more pleasure than her family. We have many beautiful memories of time spent with “Grandma” and “GG” as the great-grandchildren called her. Ethel was an avid reader and gardener and excelled at sewing, crafts, and embroidery. Every grandchild and great grandchild received a beautifully embroidered quilt upon birth and those quilts are treasured by all who received them.

The funeral Mass will be celebrated 11:00 a.m. Friday, November 17, 2017 at the Church of St. Anne, Wausau. Entombment will be in the Garden of Eternal Rest, Restlawn Memorial Park, Wausau. Visitation will be Thursday from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau, and again on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services at the Church of St. Anne, Wausau.
