Oelrich, Albert L. (15 July 1928 – 18 August 2022)
Albert L. Oelrich, 94, of Spencer, WI, passed away at Colonial Center, in Colby,
on Thursday, August 18, 2022.
Albert Leo Oelrich was born on July 15, 1928, on the farm homesteaded by his
family, the son of Frederick H. and Emma A. (Kaulfuerst) Oelrich. He was raised
on the family farm and received his education in Spencer area schools. After
school, Albert worked on the farm and at Weyerhauser in Marshfield. He was
united in marriage to Frances Jean Hlavac at Christ the King Catholic Church on
May 21, 1960. They bought her family farm, Sunnybrook Farm, from her brother Joe
in 1964. Albert and Frances farmed with their son, Dan, until retiring in 2013,
at which time Dan took over farming. He continued living on the farm until
moving to Colonial Center in 2021.
He was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church where he was an usher for
many years, and was a foster parent for several children.
Albert had many interests, but especially loved spending time with his family,
loved deer hunting, fishing, being a beekeeper and making honey for many years,
making maple syrup, gardening, trapshooting and throwing horseshoes.
He will be dearly missed by his sons: Dan Oelrich of Spencer and John Oelrich of
Martin, TN; his grandchildren: Owen and Lucy Oelrich of Martin, TN; one brother:
Arthur (Georgia) Oelrich of Unity; two sisters: Alice Johnson of Chili, and
Frieda Oelrich of Spencer; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Albert was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Frances, on November 10,
2020; five brothers: Willard, Herb, Raymond, Roy and Joseph Oelrich; and three
sisters: Esther Schoolman, Beatrice Macheichok, and Edna Oelrich.
