Leila Mae (Henschel) Wollenberg

Leila M. Wollenberg, age 89 of Clintonville, went to meet the Lord in Heaven Tuesday morning April 4, 2017 at Crossroads Care Center, Weyauwega.

Leila Mae Wollenberg was born May 7, 1927 in the Town of Dupont, the daughter of the late Carl & Etta (Krieser) Henschel. She grew up in Clintonville and attended school nearby. Leila was later united in marriage to Martin Wollenberg. She worked in Neenah in her younger years cleaning homes; she also worked for the Hansen Glove Factory and the Krueger Nursing Home, both in Clintonville. Leila had a green thumb and loved spending time in her vegetable garden. Her kitchen was also always filled with the smell of baked goods, like bread and doughnuts. Leila will be remembered as a person who knew her Lord and Savior, and as such, was always willing to help others. Her greatest joy and love were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
