Shirley Ann Zenner, of Spencer, passed away at the age of 76 in the early
morning hours of Sunday, December 11, 2022, while in hospice care at House of
the Dove-Marshfield.
Shirley was born in Bloomer, on September 22, 1946, the daughter of Herbert and
Eileen (Reischel) Krueger. She was united in marriage to John Zenner on December
26, 1964, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Bloomer. She was employed with the
Spencer Public School System for 26 years until her retirement in 2002. She was
responsible for overseeing food preparation and served countless school
students.
She was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church in Spencer. She was an
advisor for the high school cheerleading squad and assistant cross-country
coach. Shirley loved to attend all her children’s sporting events, cheering them
on and always encouraging every athlete to do their best. Shirley and John spent
17 wonderful years wintering in Fort Myers, FL, where they made many dear
friends. She also became a member of the Purple Hat Women’s Club.
Her hobbies included reading, making one-of-a-kind ceramic cheerleader
figurines, creating beautiful blankets for her family using a Swedish weaving
technique, and making all sorts of crafts. She also loved interior design and
decorating to make her home warm and inviting.
She is survived by her loving husband, John Zenner of Spencer; her children,
Kelly (Cary) Hildebrandt of Port Edwards, Eric (Vicki) Zenner of Spencer, and
John (Diana) Zenner of Marshfield; her grandchildren, Tyler (Danielle)
Steczynski, Paige, Austin and Caden Hildebrandt, Ashley (Tanner) Hoffman, Aaron
Zenner, and Nora and Lauren Zenner and one great-granddaughter, Jade, along with
many other relatives and friends.
Shirley has been reunited in heaven with her father, Herbert Krueger; her
mother, Eileen Proue and her stepfather, Eugene Proue.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 12:30 P.M. Thursday, December 15,
2022, at Christ the King Catholic Church in Spencer with Rev. Barry Saylor
